While addressing the gathering, the resource person mentioned we are living in 21st century which is governed by digitalisation. This digital era is characterised by a rapid shift from traditional industry to an economy based on information technology. So with this drastic change it is needless to say that we have to modify our conventional approaches as well as develop new skills according to the changing demands of the industries, we have to keep up with the global transformation for better placement opportunities. He said experience always defeats qualifications. He suggested the students to replace the idea of placement with quest of acquiring more knowledge and learning, for knowledge is phenomenal and ageless. He emphasised upon continuous learning as it facilitates growth and development. He also shared the secrets of becoming a global player which will place them one step ahead in this age of cut throat competition and will help them to stand out in the crowed.

While concluding the session he said do not major in minors. There are around 2000 career options, students have to evaluate it, find what suits them best and groom themselves accordingly. Having an idea, creative thinking, adopting positive attitude, maintaining integrity are few other qualities that students should imbibe for a promising future. He conducted fun filled activities where students actively participated. The informal tone adopted by the speaker was much appreciated by the students.
