450 students attend career counselling fair ‘Disha’ at XLRI Jamshedpur

Jamshedpur, Feb 10: Jamshedpur’s Biggest Career counselling fair ‘Disha’ was conducted by Samarthya at XLRI.

Embarking on the path to a future career is laden with dreams, choices, and critical evaluations. The collective efforts of students, parents, and schools bear the weight of shaping a generation that strengthens the pillars of our nation.

Samarthya, the Human Potential Centre of XLRI, is dedicated to assisting students in navigating the maze of confusion and uncertainty on their journey to discovering their true calling through its flagship event, Disha, the Annual Career Counselling Fair of XLRI.

Disha 2024–25 took place on the campus on February 4th, 2024. Disha was strengthened by the assistance of more than 140 XLRI students who volunteered for the event, resulting in more than 700 registrations and attendance from 450+ students, parents, and teachers.

High footfall was seen from schools like CM School of Excellence, Baldwin High School, DAV, JH Tarapore, and Loyola.

The students gained insightful knowledge about a range of professional career options. The chance to investigate new job alternatives and gain knowledge from personal experiences was much valued by the attendees.

Disha offered guidance on a wide range of fields, including biotechnology, fashion, journalism, and defense, in addition to more traditional sectors like engineering, civil services, and bachelor’s degrees in commerce.

The success of the event was enhanced by the presence of Nina Mukherji, a well-known career counsellor and qualified psychometric assessor. Nina’s keynote speech, which drew on her fifteen years of experience in the industry, struck a chord with the audience and offered a plethora of guidance and inspiration.

The organizing team at Samarthya expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support and positive feedback received. In a statement, they shared, “Disha 2024-25 aimed to empower individuals with the knowledge and confidence to make informed career decisions. The response we’ve received reinforces our belief in the importance of providing a platform that facilitates exploration and enlightenment.”

As the curtains close on Disha 2024-25, Samarthya remains dedicated to its mission of nurturing human potential and guiding individuals toward fulfilling and purposeful careers.
