IIM-L students guide the lesser privileged

LUCKNOW: `Bhavishya', a social initiative committee of students from Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow (IIM-L) gave career guidance to underprivileged students of a school in the state capital.

The objective of the initiative -- christened as `Disha' -- was to identify students, who are bright in studies but have little opportunity and exposure to the outside world. The students also counselled them about various career paths available for them and preparing for the same.

The committee partnered with Jaipuria Institute of Management (JIM), Lucknow, to provide career guidance and personality development to students of Prakash Bal Vidya Mandir (PBVM).

The workshop, held last week, was designed for PBVM students of Class XI & XII to help them out with their careers. The first step towards this was the computer awareness programme, especially browsing the internet, as this will help them to chose a career of their choice and get intricate details of the same. The students were also taught about the basics of writing CV.

The second step was that of discussing about the various details of career paths in engineering, medicine, accountancy and other opportunities. This also included the deadline dates of each forms, making them aware of the various options providing them deeper insights on getting through the competition.

Finally, the programme ended with insights about the budding future representatives of emerging India. The programme also included creative activities like newspaper dressing and quiz.
