HYDERABAD, SEPT.13. The Hyderabad Police Commissioner, R.P. Singh, on Monday said that the youth who had the required skill and talent could achieve any goal in life. "There are people who have got several degrees and are still jobless. One can move forward and reach top positions if they have the required skill and talent," he felt.

Speaking after inaugurating week-long career counselling and guidance for the children of police personnel, organised by Urivi Charitable Trust, Mr. Singh urged the youth to take full advantage of the counselling to reach their desired goal.

25 persons take part

As many as 25 youths attended the inaugural session. "We have given them forms seeking information about their interests, ambition and habits. Later, we will have one to one and group discussions. Based on that, we will provide them proper guidance as to what would suit them best," said Padmavathi of the trust.

"I want to become a businessman," said Mohammed Sayeed, son of a police Constable Mohammed Shabeer. He said that the counselling would help him in fulfilling his goal. Syed Iftekhar, an Intermediate dropout, said "I want to build my future and I'm happy that this counselling was organised for our benefit."

The Commissioner urged the youth not to waste their valuable time and hoped that the counselling would be of great help to the youngsters.
