K. Kamaraj a True Servant Leader-Part-4


          K. Kamaraj a True Servant Leader-Part-4

Healing-Speech in 1962 and Selection of students for Medicine
Healing: This characteristic relates to the emotional health and "wholeness" of people, and involves supporting them both physically and mentally.
Here are glimpses of speech given by Kamaraj in Chennai after few years of Indochina war in 1962
The speech was given in Triplicane on 2.10.1965. Kamaraj quoted what Mahatma Gandhi quoted “A country should be self-sufficient and we should fulfill our own needs without depending on other nations” adding to the quote Kamaraj stated the following which not only healed the people in 1965 but it makes sense in the present context too:  
  •     We should produce our own food grains
  • Unity is strength
  • We should be truly a democratic nation
  • We should reduce our dependence on other nations
A file was placed in front of Kamaraj for selecting 10 students for Medicine seats based on Government quota, Kamaraj quickly went through the file and he selected 10 students.
The respective IAS officer stated, generally it takes three days to go through the file, but how did you finalise the candidates?
Kamaraj replied I saw the parents who had kept their thumb impression instead of signature and hence I decided a student should be selected from a family where his parents are not literates and that’s how we can improve the society.
His words and deeds are true healers for the poor and needy, with the above speech and his action he has truly lived the third characteristics of a Servant Leader- Healing

Being Jaby is being a fine human being.

  Being Jaby is being a fine human being.   L&D Global Chennai Chapter was instrumental in bringing Jaby closer to my heart, our journey was not too long, but it was filled with fun, humour, joy and learning too. When Jaby was present, dullness was absent. He filled the hall with his sense of humour, and his thoughts were deep-rooted in bringing the best out of every human. Jaby was the most admired person in any forum; when Jaby picked the mic, the audience pulled themselves to the edge of the chair.

His social bent of mind made him a good Samaritan. Jaby was a curious child, whenever we both met, he was curious to improve his skills and knowledge, and his quest for development was limitless. Jaby and I collaborated in the year ...
