Seminar in Ahmedabad tells students how to choose right careers

Sandeep Manudhane, founder chairman of the Proton Business School, helmed a seminar on career counselling on Friday that elaborated on various factors students should keep in mind while taking career decisions.

Manudhane feels that it is very important to possess certain pivotal 'life skills' to have a successful career.

This seminar was an orientation for 21st century youth, and emphasised on the importance of progressive thinking and development of life skills like deft communication, power of expression, discipline and self confidence.

It is imperative to seek happiness in everything one does, and then choose a career that is exciting enough to keep you happy, said Manudhane.

Quoting examples, Manudhane tried to explain certain ground realities to the students.

He feels, "There is an urgent need to change the education system in India, and make it more application-driven. A mass revolution is needed in the educational sector to take the country forward."
