CHYK Study Groups and the manual for the study
These are the decisions taken
during a marathon session of a meeting held in the month of December
2000 as per the guidance of Pujya Guruji. Pujya Guruji had approved
these decisions and hence we are giving below as guidelines for
all the study groups of CHYK.
The age groups
for the various groups in chyk are as follows.
Junior chyk age group is 14 to 18 years.
Chyk age group is 19 to 24 years.
Senior chyk age group is 25 to 28 years.
The idea is that after 28 years of age, they will work in the Mission
guiding the Chyks and other Bala vihar classes. Senior chyks will
learn about the organization more in depth apart from their studies
and slowly take up the higher responsibilities in the Mission.
Pujya Guruji gave the following order of study for junior chyk.
The time with in which the text is to be completes is given below
as guidance for all the classes.
