“To leave a meaningful legacy, both ethics and etiquette were described as indispensable. Ethics concerns questions of right and wrong, while etiquette relates to good manners and everyday conduct. Among these, punctuality was highlighted as a key marker of professionalism. Responsibility, honesty, and trustworthiness — qualities practiced within the home — were also urged to be demonstrated in the workplace,” the statement read.
Participants were reminded that every profession carries its own ethical obligations which must be faithfully upheld. She gave examples of prohibition orders on spitting and throwing garbage to make her point. She added that although ethics and etiquette are not formally taught in classrooms, staff could impart those values to students through example even in routine tasks such as assisting with documentation work.
The programme began with a welcome address delivered by the college’s principla, Dr. Anungla Pongener, and concluded with remarks delivered by IQAC secretary, Chothazo Nienu, who expressed appreciation to the resource person and participants for making the workshop successful.
