In order to develop a clear understanding of the differences between mentoring and counselling to the Students this training was conducted by FTA for Teaching Staff members. This focus particularly on mentoring teachers in this respect towards Academic mentoring is a developmental relationship between a more experienced individual (a mentor) and a less experienced partner (a mentee). The mentee is supported through regular interactions by the mentor’s guidance to gain skills, perspective and experience. Mentoring is therefore a longterm, ongoing process of guiding someone in order to develop their overall personal and professional development. Many of us use the terms ‘mentoring’ and ‘coaching’ interchangeably.

MENTORSHIP PROGRAM The House of Debaters, believes in the idea of “Don’t raise your voice, rather improve your argument” and in order to achieve these standards, the club holds a Debate Mentorship Session, exclusively for the members of Crescent Literary Society. The programme aims to bring out the best out of every debater and finesse their debate skills. The common means of achieving professionalism is continuous practice and thus the debaters are asked to speak for a particular duration and are also given chances to rebut the stance put forth by the fellow debaters. The sessions are conducted on Tuesdays and Fridays of every week during lunch break, with strength of 15 consistent attendees. The sessions are headed and guided by Senior Members of CLS, who have previous experience of participating in debates and workshops relating to debating. The debaters are pre-handily, informed about the topic and the style of debate for the next session, giving them enough time to prepare a well-structured speech. The programme started with a warm welcome and the first session showcased the fine, public speaking skills of the debaters. In the following sessions the debaters worked on correcting the grammatical errors and sentence formation, during their delivery. The ideal structure, suitable for all forms of debates was shared and practiced by the debaters. In one of the sessions, the debaters were given a chance to learn the procedures of a Lincoln – Douglas Debate style. In its recent session, the debaters were trained on British Parliament Debate Style. The entire programme aims at helping the debaters, gain more confidence and learn to prepare a well-structured argument. Thus far, the programme has been working towards achieving its objectives and the same shall continue in the near future also.
