SAM CLUB DAY ‘16

PKS '2k13: According to your opinion, is the current behavioral a ributes of SCAs suitable in light of the
responsibili es which they are likely to hold in the future?

MSM '73: SCAs face problems in understanding the ac vi es being performed at the various shops
without proper guidance of the respec ve Senior Sec on Engineers of the shops. But even when they get
that guidance, they don't merely have to stand and learn the theory; rather, they should make themselves
aware about how the theore cal learning is put into prac ce: how the workers work in the shops when
they don't fear any inspec on, how many effec ve hours they work, etc. This is the beauty of the workshop
training meant for SCAs. And as far as the quality of the workshop training is concerned, the problems
encountered by SCAs should be brought to light so that arrangements of classes before workshop training
can be made. Sending 2k10 batch for training in welding to Parel workshop and that in foundry to Na onal
Ins tute of Forge and Foundry, Ranchi was effec ve in enhancing their technical exper se. The grooming
of SCAs should be such that they stand out from the crowd.

PA '2k11: Does the limited exposure of SCAs, endemic to the scheme because of Gymkhana's loca on,
restrict their social life?

MSM '73: Yes, I agree that staying in Jamalpur limits the exposure provided to SCAs to some extent. But as
they have money available in their hands at a very young age, staying in Jamalpur keeps them away from
vices; they stay focused only on studies and sports.

PKS '2k13: The occasion of Club Day has become the sole pla orm for the alma mater to relive old days.
Should more such occasions be organized?

MSM '73: I think that one Club Day is sufficient. Club Day prepara ons take nearly a month of dedicated
work. Further, SCAs also organize gradua on ceremony every year. So, organizing more func ons may lead
to diversion from training in SCAs.

PA '2k11: Sir, to run Gymkhana more smoothly, should autonomy of all decisions to be given exclusively to
the senior-most batch?

MSM '73: The senior-most batch and the SAMs present in Jamalpur should perform their separate roles
in ensuring that the healthy tradi ons of the Gymkhana are con nued and followed. I s ll follow many
prac ces which I used to follow when I was an SCA in Gymkhana. Ge ng properly dressed for coming
to the dining hall for meals is a good prac ce.

PKS'2k13: How important is it for an SCA to strike the perfect balance between academics and co-
curricular ac vi es?
