hi friends,
              here is my opinion on whats PPD(personal progress development) on my own experience. At the start of the program,  i thought this irrelevant to our course. so i had a thought that this is waste of time. later i realized that whatever the course we follow, PPD is essential. PPD is essential for living a socialized life. we will now see why is that  
               As a state university, students here come from different districts who follows different cultures, religion, language and etc. first of all PPD can change the mentality of the students towards these other cultures and making our friendship bond strong together.
               the biggest gain to students from PPD to students is developing our personal attitude which can lead to success in life. it gives the some qualities such as teamwork, leadership, respecting other, knowing ourselves, understanding others, developing relationships, self confidence and etc.
         
how do PPD devolopes these qualities?

PPD sessions contains group activities and individual activities which  can make those qualities grow.
for example, in the activity that we created new culture that doesnt really exists, we learnt team work, obeying leadership and the concept taught us about understanding other cultures. grooming the students mind is the  duty of PPD

what if no PPD?

if there is no such lesson as PPD students would miss a chance to socialize a bit more. definitely i learnt something and everyone leart something and if we have not followed this course we would have been little smaller than now by mind.
