Participation and Contribution In the SSB

Participation and Contribution In the SSB

It is often said that in GTO series, you must contribute to the group solution. We often fail to construe the exact difference between participating and contributing. While these terms appear to be alike, there is a thin line of difference between the two.
In GD, you keep on blabbering without noticing its effect on the group members. You feel like your job is done and you have played your part. This is called participation. The GTO will come to know who is wholeheartedly working towards the group and who is not. On the contrary, you speak a few quality words while getting the full attention of the group. You respect the views of others and let everyone opine their ideas without any obstruction. This will be termed as contribution.

In the same vein, during the Group Planning Exercise it is not important to stick to your own solution. In 90% of the cases there is no consensus in the group and there you lose your points. An ideal GPE is such where the group members pick out the best ideas from the individuals, mix it up to form the group solution. As long as you do your bit in the group, it is enough. You have the chance to prove your mettle in other tasks and therefore it is your contribution in the group what matters.
Similarly, in the Progressive Group Task (PGT) and Half Group Task (HGT) carrying the load, plank, balli or rope is not important. You must be able to get the group out of the obstacle with your ideas. You have to work in the group with unabridged commitment. Also, in the Group Obstacle Race (GOR) people fight among themselves in order to get a chance to help others in crossing the obstacles. Then they have a look at GTO to check whether he is noticing their effort or not. It is completely fatuous to help the group members just for the heck of it. You have to put your heart and soul in the task and then only it will be termed as โ€˜contributionโ€™.

To sum it up I would say that many a times the whole group gets washed out. You feel cheated and wretched. Similarly there are instances when the whole group gets recommended. The moral of the story is that you get unmasked in front of the assessors how much ever you try to pretend. You are required to put your heart into the task, without bothering about getting noticed. Your contribution matters, your mere presence holds no water.
I hope that you have got the gist of the article. Any doubts and comments are welcome on [email protected]. Keep visiting SSBCrack. JAI HIND
