LEARNING CRISIS MANAGEMENT THROUGH LITERATUR

Crisis or an unlikely situation of panic is part of everybody's personal and professional existence and to tide over such a critical moment requires patience, fortitude and other traits of personality. In times of emergency, we feel drawn to look for some external agency for help without actually realizing its futility. However, it is the internal strength and the qualities of head and heart that actually need to be invoked during these times. In this connection, it has been observed that words of wisdom exert a very positive influence in strengthening the personality of a person in critical moments of their life. As such, literary writings presenting these sane words in an artful manner turn out to be helpful in offering a sensible approach to tide over the crisis. The present paper explores the role of the stories from Vishnu Sharma's Panchatantra and being treated as work of creative literature-in inculcating an entrepreneur-like personality which can immensely help them through their professional career
