College students get tips on building their career

Bidar: "There is only one cardinal principle in building a career and that is `follow your dream'" was the advice given to college students at a counselling session at Sharana Udayan here on Sunday.

Indian Institute of Career Management Managing Director D.P. Prakash advised students to dream big and work hard towards realising it.

"Choose a subject you like the most and take up a job that does not bore you. Passion and hard work are the only secrets of successful people. Nobel laureate Amartya Sen chose Economics at a time when his peers wanted to enter civil services," he said.

"Career is not an accident. It is planned and needs vision, backed by hard work. It becomes a matter of destiny only when you give up," he said.

Mr. Prakash said institutions of higher learning were focused on producing a large number of graduates rather than talent. He said there were a large number of unemployable graduates. He gave tips to students on how to make the best use of classroom teaching. He said education experts favoured perception-based learning to rote system.

Institute's director Sourabh Tyagi said research showed that stress in modern life was caused because the affected people achieved less than their potential. Sharana Udayan chief Akka Annapurna, zilla panchayat member Naseem Patel, managing director of the Prayavi Hospital Amar Yarolkar, and udayan trustee Kashappa Dhannur were present.
