But our career guidance session has brought a tremendous change in all the students. After the session, all the students started asking about the courses to become Doctor, Engineer, Police, Army, Film Director, Dietician, Teacher, CA, fashion designer and etc. Finally, it’s a great worth of spending all the day with students to ignite their minds about their goals. I will always look forward to invest my time in this kind of voluntary programs.
