Thanks to the boom in software industry, there is a heavy demand for computer professionals. IT companies recruit mainly engineering and computer science students who are technically sound and have good communication skills. The students should have a good mental calibre, intellectual qualities, critical power of assimilation, mental alertness, capacity for clear and logical exposition, leadership skills and moral integrity.

Even though use of cell phone while driving has been banned the number of people using it while driving is on the increase. The recent accident at Erode, in which a mini bus ran over a 14-year-old girl because its driver was talking over cell phone while driving, should serve as an eye-opener to all. Authorities should enforce the ban strictly.

Your correspondent has aptly highlighted the chaotic traffic system in Erode town (July 8). Two-wheelers not only use ‘chest indicators’ while taking turns but also ride freely on the right side of the road giving anxious moments to two-wheelers coming from the opposite direction as they do not know as to which direction they should move to avert head-on collision. Unless this trend among the two-wheelers is not checked, the accident rate in Erode will continue to be on the increase.

There is a feeling that matriculation schools collect a hefty amount as fee from students. This is true to some extent. But some schools grant full fee concession to meritorious students.The concession is irrespective of caste, religion, income etc. I request private engineering colleges too to give full fee concession to students who secure good marks in the Plus 2 examination.

Six-lane Avinashi Road project is progressing fast. The project is estimated to cost Rs. 3,400 crore. The highways department has surmounted all difficulties involved in such a massive work. Economic development of a country hinges on an impeccable transport system. A six-lane road facilitates uninterrupted flow of vehicles and quick transportation. Those working in the project are doing a commendable job. The project once completed will be the pride of Coimbatore.
