Gift an education...Make a life !

Isha Vidhya's ten years towards India rural education

The first of the Isha Vidhya schools was started in Coimbatore
in 2006, and since then, 7 additional schools have been constructed
and being operated in Erode, Salem, Dharmapuri, Cuddalore,
Villupuram, Nagercoil and Tuticorin.

We have come a long way indeed.  One of the initial schools started
was the Nagercoil school which had 100+ students, which has grown
today to 800+ students!

Career guidance and 'Profession with Passion' series talks

As the children and the schools grow, the need for higher grades at
the schools, and guiding the students in their career becomes very
important!

Profession with Passion, is a series of talks by individuals from
various professions, presenting about their career, and about the
career choices that the students can make.

Ranjeet Varhman's presentation

In one of such talks, Mr. Ranjeet Varhman, Project Manager at
Rees Elsevier India Private Limited, Chennai, conducted two
sessions for Cuddalore students, which covered:

• A glimpse into Project Management in a publishing house
• How to plan your career, and what are the possibilities

Students from 9th to 11th grades participated in these sessions.
The sessions were interactive, in which the students participated
actively.

Ranjeet shared: 

"I was surprised that the students promptly answered my questions
to them, as well as asked many sensible questions about the
publishing house careers."

The students expressed their satisfaction that the session was very
useful for them, and looked forward to many sessions like these in 
the future!

If you would like to do a 'Profession with Passion' talk at any of the
above mentioned schools, please send an email to 
global.giving@ishavidhya.org expressing your interest. Thank you!
