We wanted to do a comparative study between Virtual and Physical sessions, when we posed this question to the Puthris, we received these interesting expressions from them. Our puthris gave their feedback as a report under a prescribed format which we gave them and their responses are quite startling and they have shared it with all Zeal. Let's have a look on few of the articles shared by our Puthris - Virtual Sessions, according to Pooja, are the finest! 
Good day to all. I am Pooja. R studying in XI - A. Project Puthri is a great opportunity for me. I joined in 8th class and now I am studying 12th std. Three years in Project Puthri now and I am so happy about it.Project Puthri is very useful for us to know and learn many life skills. Especially self-motivation session helped me to motivate myself. Many life skills like Confidence building, Listening skills, Attitude building, Personality Grooming, Time Management, Initiative and Ownership etc. are helping me a lot in my life to choose the right direction for pursuing an Education to get into a good profession. There are so many other skills I have learnt. In Attitude Building I got a formula E +Po [EVENTS + POSITIVE OUTCOME] in these life skills I executed the self-motivation in my life. Self-Motivation means 'Believe in yourself'. It is very useful for me. Anything which I don't know I used say "Do not give up". Self-motivation is important to my career. In this Pandemic Situation Puthri Sessions are online as virtual session. Initially I didn't know about how to operate the google meet and zoom app. It was very difficult for me and many time there was no internet so I could not hear the voice but Now Google meet and Zoom app are in my fingertips. I am able to say this because I know how to operate it. It is very useful for me. I can talk and I ask questions to teacher and get answer. In pandemic situation Virtual sessions are very useful compared to the Physical Sessions. In Virtual session I can connect easily with my mentors and classmates and it is comfortable for me to attend the online classes. I get more information in virtual classes. Videos can also be seen. There are many benefits for us. We can see different type of teaching and it became interesting to learn more. I can say Virtual Session is best because I am able get more information in online class. It is easy to understand. Thank You. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Physical Sessions, according to Sowmiya, are more useful! 
I am M.Sowmiya studying in 9th standard I am into Puthri for the past 3 years. In Puthri's session I learned the best life skills they are personality grooming, self-evaluation, listening skill, Attitude building, self-motivation, and empathy skill all these have created an impact in my life. I don't have a phone to attend the class. Then Puthri team gave a tab for me to attend the class with which I was able to see all the teachers in virtual section using the tab. I am studying puthri class using the app Google meet. But I don't exactly know about the app and how to operate it. There I got help from Puthri members, they taught me about how to operate the app. These were very difficult in the beginning to attend the class and I overcame it. In the virtual session I studied about self-motivation in my 1st class. Self-motivation is the ability to motivate oneself to do things that are to be done with or without any external influence. It is the skill to find within oneself the willpower to move forward towards the goal. Then I studied self-evaluation. Self-evaluation is a method of analyzing oneself. Then I saw about empathy. Empathy is a key part for being responsible and helpful for students not just at the school level but elsewhere too. Empathy can also be a route to academic and career success because it helps people understand and work with others. To build empathy one needs attention and commitment. These are the interesting facts I studied in the virtual session. It will be beneficial to apply in the future. The content will also be very useful for future and particularly for teen age girls. After the lockdown the physical session will be started. I am so happy to get back to the classroom puthri session. I am happy with the presentation now because I could see the teacher in my classroom and there will not be any issues like poor network connection. So I am happy that I am in the classroom. In classroom they use the blackboard and we could understand easily. I like the physical session. The benefits of physical section is that I and my friends are in the classroom and there is a good vibration. And there are so many other children. We study and gather many more things easily. I ask questions in the class with my friends. Then we also discussed in our friends group about the puthri session about how they understand. And so many children didn't know about puthri session. When some children join puthri many others joined one by one so the classroom is also filled with good vibrations. My opinion is that the physical session is best it gives the best experience with my friends to discuss and gather so many things to learn. Thank you ************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Dhanushree prefers Physical Sessions! 
I am S. Dhanushree and studying in 9th class. My favorite life skill is time management I like this life skill because "Time is precious" and I am wasting my time on many unnecessary things. So this was useful to me and helped me to manage my time. I like this life skill.I know to use the google meet even before the puthri class because I am attending my school classes in google meet. So it is easy for me to attend both the classes in one app itself and this is easy to handle also. But comparing with physical session it is not so good because it is less effective. I like to attend communication skills topic in the physical class because it in the virtual session there will not be direct communication to understand. I prefer physical session because in the virtual session we have to watch the slides in the screen but in the direct class it will be easy to attend the class. In the Virtual class when we have to answer we have to on the mic which will not be a direct communication but in physical class we can answer directly, in the virtual class sometimes we may have network issue but in direct class we don't have any issue. So I prefer PHYSICAL CLASS. Thank you! ************************************************************************************************************************************************************** The Physical Sessions make Moovitha very contented! 
I am M.Moovitha, One of the Puthri Scholars, I am studying in XI. The best life skill is Communication skill and Time management. Decision making and Initiative Skill created a big impact in my life and Leadership skills too.Due to covid, we were all Supposed to attend go Virtual Sessions, I faced lack of network connection, we had only one phone, for attending virtual session we need to buy One more mobile phone, and I don't know how to handle my phone as I was facing so many problems in this mobile. It's like a sharp edged Sword, if we used it for good its good and bad way means its bad. Day by day we learnt it and Technology helps us to learn better. It's easy to connect with each other. easy to store up with our memories and data. Social Medias are helping me to learn more like YouTube und Google. At Starting it was uneasy to me but after that it became comfortable to use. Physical Session, I'll never ever forget. It played a vital role in my life and now we are getting back to it. I'm really very happy to get back to the classroom and both physical and virtual sessions are different, the communication, eye contact body languages etc. but we miss interacting with the Human beings. I'm missing more Activities in Virtual session. I like physical session more because it gave me happiness but through Virtual Session only I learnt many things like how to handle mobile and more Technology based things, physical sessions are helping me to improve myself in studied and apart from that I am learning many things. Physical session is comfortable to me and it is easy to me and makes the happy. Thank you! *************************************************************************************************************************************************************** "Physical Sessions will allow me to meet my mentors" expresses Nithyavaani ! 
My name is K. Nithyavaani, studying in 10th class.I have been attending Puthri sessions for the last 3 years, learning new skills. I learnt a lot from Puthri. But I like the session on confidence most. It helped me a lot. Thank you Puthri for the same. During the corona lockdown, when school was closed, Puthri started the online sessions. In the beginning I didn't know, how to use Google Meet. Understanding our difficulties, Team Puthri sent us a video, on how to use the Google Meet. It was very useful to us. During lockdown, when we weren't studying, Project Puthri conducted us online sessions, because of which we could learn even during the lockdown. I was very happy. My family was also very happy. I joined Project Puthri when I was in my 8th class. I didn't know then, how lucky I am. But now I realise that I will reach great heights through Puthri. Every week Thursday, our sweet mentor-sisters used to come to my school and used to talk, make us laugh, talk and move with us like our relatives. But during lockdown, because of online sessions, I am unhappy because I could not meet my dear mentor-sisters. I can't talk and laugh with my mentor-sisters in the online sessions. As per my view, I like the in-school sessions, where I can meet, talk and laugh with my mentors. At the same time, I won't say that I don't need the online sessions. There are benefits in this too. I will tell you a few of them. Most of the puthris won't come forward to talk, even I was so. But now I am able to talk, with confidence. I like the in-school sessions, most. Thank you,
