Toppers honoured: Minister of State for Railways R. Velu giving away the trophy for the best outgoing student at the convocation of the Mazharul Uloom College in Ambur on Saturday. .
AMBUR: Union Minister of State for Railways R. Velu has said that students should be clear about what they want to pursue after their college education.
He said a degree is an instrument with which students have to make headway and decide on their professional career.
Participating in a function to distribute degree certificates at the convocation of Mazharul Uloom College here on Saturday, the Minister said that at present the manufacturing and Information Technology sectors offered lot of job opportunities for students. It was important that the students got proper counselling to decide upon their career path.
The Minister said that the students’ capability would go waste unless they develop soft skills.
Most of the students in rural areas despite their brilliant academic credentials failed to get a job, as they were not good in communication.
Speaking on the occasion, Vellore Collector Dharmendra Pratap Yadav said that there was always a demand for manpower.
Though the Human Resource manager in blue-chip companies have been given targets for recruitment, they were not able to fill the vacancies.
This clearly showed that there was a lack of technically qualified and capable people in the country.
He said that though the Government was trying for poverty alleviation and equitable growth not much of a progress had been made so far. There was still poverty and illiteracy.
Mr Yadav said that in Vellore District alone there was lot of students who were still working.
Large chunks of children were out of schools and were forced to go for work at a tender age. Making the dropouts go to schools was the biggest challenge faced by the District Administration.
