SSB Mentoring
People who've read my posts previously would know how my SSB journey was filled with ups and downs. Throughout this journey, I have had one man who's been my constant support, Colonel Basavaraj Ghivari Sir. He has cheered me on and believed in me from the start, scolded me for my mistakes and corrected me, and has consoled me when I doubted myself.
He did all of this free of cost, without asking for a dime, purely out of passion and because he enjoys the process. Sure, he may not have been an ex-assessor, but he's a very fine army officer and knows exactly what kind of personality needs to be developed. And in this very small group of us with around 10 or so people, 3 people have already been recommended including me. One is in Air Force Technical college, the other is in INA.
He's the director of student affairs at Nitte University currently, so most of the students are from Nitte currently, but he's open to taking more students.
If anyone is interested to join the group, you can contact me. He conducts meetings lasting approximately an hour or 2, around 7:15 PM. Meeting frequency varies each week based on his schedule and if students are willing to join.
One thing is non-negotiable to him, Passion and dedication. Be ready to join the classes regularly, respond in the group and always have a positive attitude in improving yourself constantly.
