The course on Gerontology: A
Multidisciplinary Perspective, which I was taking under the Diploma in
Gerontology Programme at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, got over last week.
Like the course, the students group was also a multidisciplinary group; there
were doctor, social worker, journalist, demographer, scientist, legal experts,
financial experts, entrepreneurs and people with background in management and
office administration in the group. Their experiences and curiosity to learn
new things related to gerontology made the sessions an interesting and amazing
experience for me and I am sure for them as well.
Apart from the interesting discussions
and their enthusiasm to learn new things about gerontology, one thing which I
really liked in the group was the strong bonding among them. Though they
belonged to different age groups and different places but they bonded very well
with each other and were ready to help each other in class assignments without
any selfish motive.
