Career Workshop at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya on 20th December 2014

Career Workshop was held at Jawahar Nayodaya Vidyalaya, Doddaballapur on 20th December 2014. This Workshop was jointly organized by Rotary International Dist 3190, Career Counseling & Development Committee and the  Rotary Club of Bangalore Yelahanka. About 350 students from standard VIII to standard XI attended. This included students from Bashetahalli Govt High School as well. The highly interactive session, entirely focused on rural children as they lack the access to quality based information and awareness on opportunities.

The students were engaged in a group dynamic activity into questioning and sharing mode with the fellow participants. They were encouraged to share their dreams and their passions. The students sang songs, expressed their oratory skills and brainstormed on various issues collectively finally coming together in alignment on looking inward on one’s own competencies and then picking a career choice instead of following the herd just to be in the mainstream. The students were excited with the opportunities in experimenting and exploring various possibilities with “I CAN DO ” mantra.

Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Principal, Mr. Gopalakrishna in his welcoming speech highlighted the importance of career planning at the early stage as decisions taken now will be impacting the entire life of the students. He elaborated that the career planning workshop as an excellent initiative anchored by Rotary Bangalore Yelahanka.” The group activity conducted melted all individual inhibitions and allowed students to come out with enquiry in openness. The spontaneity and the expertise of the resource people enabled the students to understand their own strengths and the career with which they can be associated”

Mr. Kishor Jagirdar, Managing Director of Infopace Management (P) Ltd President Rotary Yelahanka and well know Strategic Change Management Specialist stated “The eco system of the current times are completely altering with the future need for children to have multiple skill set and more than one career as a way of life with disruptive innovations redefining the markets frequently”

Students questions were mainly on areas of Armed Forces, Clinical psychology, Service industry, Aerospace, Automobile industry, Robotic Engineering, Fashion designing, environmental management, Agriculture, Life science, Animation, Civil service, Entrepreneurship, Information technology and even Community Services.   

This will be an ongoing programme and the Rotary RI Dist 3190 plans to hold several such sessions in different parts of rural Bangalore covering places like Tumkur, Ramanagara, Nelamangala besides other locations like Pavagada, Vijipura, Mulbagalu etc. These awareness workshops will be followed by one to one counseling session with periodic intervals as an ongoing process with industry experts and high profile resource persons with the knowledge partner being INFOPACE Management Pvt Ltd for further skill development.

Recognize a Soul Mate when you meet one

Image
Always went through the spiral of this churn to differentiate and understand as my life went through deep painful change from 2009 and it opened the flood gates to whom I today share my world with as soul mates who came and awakened into consciousness. A journey without a destination in one life time. Soul Mate : Someone who is aligned with your soul and is sent to challenge, awaken and stir different parts of you in order for your soul to transcend to a higher level of consciousness and awareness. Once the lesson has been learnt, physical separation usually occurs. Life Partner: A companion, a friend, a stable and secure individual who you can lean on, trust and depend on to help you through life. There is a mutual feeling of love and respect and you are both in sync with each others needs and wants.   Everyone wants to meet their Soulmate. In fact, one of the most common questions I receive in my Spiritual and coaching sessions is- “When am I going to meet my Soulma...

Well What can I say, this was a researched topic that I had first published in 2009 post 2008 global recession in  NOWPUBLIC.com . A media publication portal which now seems defunct and closed. The red shirt movement in Thailand that started in 2007 was the first sign then gradually that alerted the world on the overheated conditions of the societies across the globe and the pressure that was gradually altering the nature of the communities burdened by the disparity in the income and excessive expenditure.

After Prime Minister  Abhisit Vejjajiva  took office, the UDD led m...

It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive.   -- C.W.Leadbeater So much anticipation was built way back in early 2014 on the need to take the responsibility and bring lots of change and accomplishments that would serve the larger community  The year was very promising with a very dynamic District Governor RI Dist 3190 Rtn Manjunath Shetty who actually managed to create spaces for people to participate actively and under his leadership things became so full of promise and robust.The Installation ceremony of the team for 2014-2015 finally pushed me into the fire on 27.07.2014   Rtn Kishor Jagirdar with District Governor Elect Rtn K P Nagesh -Dist 3190 2014-2015  Set out with a lot of plans for the people of Yelahanka and our adopted village Hegdehalli near Nandi Hills.With Primary agenda being : 1) Health & technology Sector a) Digitization of health...
