Ananya Chouhan seems like just another bubbly, chirpy teenager but she's one of the top sailors of the country and she's just 17 years old. Having placed 7th in the Senior National Sailing Championship conducted by Yachting Association of India in December 2016, this class student from P Obul Reddy Public School now has her eyes set on taking part in the Asian Games and Olympic Games in 2019 and 2020 respectively.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1488884917511","data":"58be950e3c4b4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1488884659124","data":"
Her sailing journey started when she was just 12 years old; having been inspired by her father\u2019s friend Cdr Dilip Donde, the naval officer who was the first Indian to circumnavigate the globe on a sailboat. Just four months after starting sailing with the EME Sailing Club, she took part in her first National level sailing championship in December 2012 and since then, there has been no going back for her. In the same championship \u2013National Inland Optimist Championship\u2013 the following year, she bagged the 1st position in the girls\u2019 category and was also awarded the Best Girl Sailor Award; in addition to winning similar awards in other National level and International championships.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1488885000577","data":"58be957c01d58"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1488883644240","data":"
Ananya, who is a part of the Indian squad (appointed by the Yachting Association of India), loves sailing and says one gets to learn a lot of life skills in that sport. \"It is a very challenging sport, both mentally and physically. You need to have good decision making skills and the fact that you have to rely only on your skill if you have to get back to the shore, makes you very strong mentally,\" says the girl who bagged the top slot in the last international event that she took part in; the Sail Qatar 2016, where she secured the first position among girls and third position overall, in the Laser 4.7 category.<\/p>
\"Right now as my focus is mainly on studies, I am not taking part in sailing competitions much but I still plan on taking part in at least a couple of national and a couple of international events this year,\" says Ananya.<\/p>
About her future goals and aspirations, she says she wants to take part in the 2020 Olympics. \"I want to win a gold at the Olympics and I also want to be the first Indian girl to do a solo circumnavigation of the globe on a sailboat,\" she says, adding \"I want to take part in the double handed boat category in the Olympics, as my height and weight are not sufficient in single category. That is the reason I am searching for a sailing partner, which is proving to be difficult as most are not willing to give the level of commitment that is needed for this.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1488884977602","data":"58be953f407ad"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1488884623961","data":"

Whether it is buying a cup of coffee or choosing career options, opportunities and choices have increased to the point where decision making occupies much of our time. When it comes to careers, Indians have been known to gravitate towards the more lucrative and \u201csafer\u201d fields such as engineering and medicine.<\/p>

Dear Sujay,<\/p>
The fact that you had the audacity to go for a start-up, an unstable one at that, right out of college made me feel like I had taught you wrongly. This is an apology. This is an apology for questioning your career decisions in an era where start-ups have slowly become a great opportunity for youngsters. <\/p>
You see, we were raised different. Throughout my age I had heard about the elusive government job, about the way I will be safe once I landed one. That led me to believe that my brightest students would all be scholars in government institutions. You got an opportunity too, and then it went out flat, you went ahead and went into a start-up that was just got on its foot. In that space, I remembered my upbringing, and thus, the call into the personal room and the scolding. For a moment, there was a forgotten memory of how I wanted to see if my inventions themselves worked out. How I wasted my time preparing for government jobs for almost a decade before the return to academia, back into innovations. I guess you reminded me of the mistakes I had done in my own career path, and thus, I pushed it onto you. <\/p>
I am sorry. I am so terribly sorry. While, there might have been ups and downs in your career graph that would never come with a government job, there was happiness too. You never passed on your ideals away for the sake of your upbringing like I did, and maybe that is what is making this difference today. I do not know where to mail this to, I do not know your address beyond the one given in your website, and that is where this will reach. Perhaps, in a haphazard scheme like at our own college, my letter will be lost too. Maybe, its better that way.<\/p>
If that day, my scolding would have made you change your career path, made you be safer, I would not have written this letter. You would have become just one of the many faces within a crowd. And as a teacher that would have been my failure. Do you remember your classmates Sujay? They're parts of drone colonies now, reproducing pieces of information to contribute to a larger image that they do not wish to know. That is my failure, and yes, I know I should tell them to take more risks, but, I cannot bring myself to write those letters today, maybe, that's a failure as a teacher too; being unable to go to a student and admit mistakes when they look and seem happy. <\/p>
Your pictures on Facebook, the grants you have received, the way you have progressed make me happy. There is no greater joy to a teacher than the success of their student, no matter what I taught you during that particular interaction. <\/p>
I know at that moment, I was abusing the power I had on you to steer you into a way that you did not want to take. This was a problematic approach to take, because in that way you became powerless, just for a moment. All the knowledge that I had given you over the years became just a function. So, yes, this is an apology. <\/p>
Not sans happiness,<\/p>
A teacher from years ago<\/p>"}]
Many girls hope to complete their education and eventually find jobs, when the harsh reality crushes them for good.<\/p>
Here is a story of a girl. \n\nShe was planning to become a teacher, but ended up a mother before she could finish schooling. \"Her father was ill and mother's earnings were never enough. She left the school after class 8 to start working, two years later she got married. Despite of their dismal lives, not all of them have given up on the future. She dreams of taking a computer course. Once she stops breastfeeding her child, probably in a year. She believes that learning to operate the computer is her ticket to a job and better life.\"Her husband, a construction labourer, earns RS.250 a day. He doesn't have a problem if I study and find a job with a faint hint of a smile. <\/p>
\nUNFPA supports evidence-based, girl-centred investments that empower girls with the information, skills and services they need to be healthy, educated and safe, helping them make a successful transition to adulthood. UNFPA also works to support the needs of married girls particularly in family planning and maternal health.<\/p>
Is crushing poverty is forcing under age girls into early marriages and motherhood? The evidence suggests it, but it is time we take up their cause and fight, because empowering women is the way forward for this country, and that will lead to improving our standing in the world. <\/p>"}]
It is well known that learning and development within the corporate space is supposed to make a difference. But lest it escapes making a relevant difference it is to be noted that its alarming with a need of attention towards it. <\/p>
The corporate trainings do fail at some point of time due to one or the other reasons. Of many, some are discussed below: <\/p>
- A prime reason many initiatives and courses fail is maybe because there is no \u201cResponsibility<\/b>\u201d. While the department of education deals primarily with the provision of seats for the undertaking of various initiatives. This soon becomes the sole ground on the basis of the accountability of any program is carried out. But somehow they fail in the correlation of the program to the member job or position. <\/p>
- Many programs lack \u201cMonitoring<\/b>\u201d. Evaluating a student\u2019s performance is a vital part in carrying out in program. To evaluate the student\u2019s requirement and his performance is the most important thing. Monitoring involves keenly engrossing effort that is time-consuming, indeed yet important. Evaluating, generally involves everyone: be it the student, faculty or even the institution and last but not the least the HR Department. The work in this area seems hard and a bit tedious yet the payoff is really high!<\/p>
- \u201cImplementation<\/b>\u201d is the third area wherein many programs fail. HR departments create wide-ranging initiatives that no one seems to ever complete. The value to the program making and conclusion is to abridge the instance that it takes for a member with narrow knowledge to evolve into a wholly efficient member of the squad.<\/p>
- The fourth reason many programs fail is that they allow the employee to \"mislay focus\"<\/b> and usefulness. Courses, education paths and programs need to be highly synchronized, delivered in a significant method, and sustained in a sensible time quanta. Too many courses force too much information into a short phase of time. Even the finest of us can only successfully take up new information for only certain periods of time. Seeing staff subjected to nine-hour programs for multiple days is terrible. And can sometimes lead a learner to nowhere but to dearth.<\/p>
The above listed set of constraints is often the reason many corporate training programs fail. This is not an outcome of the programs, but more of a roadmap to potholes that many programs come across in their expansion and delivery. <\/p>
Avoiding these conflicts can only make many programs better and more valuable!<\/p>"}]

A Start-Up primarily being an entrepreneurial venture provides you with huge opportunities to prove yourself and is a great learning platform, not just that it is definitely a place for innovation too. After your graduation with offer letters from various MNCs if you have to choose between the Corporate job and a Start-Up; here is why you need to choose a Start-Up over a corporate job with all appealing fancy benefits. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1488455130986","data":"
1. Learning From True Entrepreneurs: <\/b><\/p>
Your chance to be in network of entrepreneurs will give you a great learning experience because invariably all successful start-ups are result of hard work and innovation. You'll learn plenty from these people because besides the ability to give the idea a proper shape, these innovators have different work approach. Their methods of finding solutions to problem, analysis, making optimum use of resources, persuasion are all traits of successful entrepreneurs. They are all driven to make the most of their time and work.

2. Responsibility: <\/b><\/p>
Unlike a corporate company you can experience a diversified responsibility at start-up, you might get experience in project management, client relations, sales, marketing and finance. Because the team size of the start-up is usually small, sometimes in single digits you have more responsibility to carry on your shoulders.

John F.

In a country where expectations of the previous generation trump the dreams of the current, it could as well be a rallying call for those who see the world differently. <\/p>
VNR VJIET's Crescendo is an example of letting musicians pursue their art, even as they study to become engineers of tomorrow. On the surface, Crescendo looks like a college band, with it's members playing the instrument of their choice, deriving their music from various bands they count as their influence, but it is much more than that. Crescendo is a club, dedicated to music in the college, with it's members changing every year as freshers arrive at the college and the veterans graduate.

Among the companies harnessing the power of IoT, one company is all set to make the roads safer and quicker for amubulances in emergency, GreenLine Labs. We speak with the Founder and CEO Sir Vishnu Ayyagari about his journey so far, \"I was working with ICICI for a few months post graduation, but my heart was set on starting my own venture,\" says Sri Vishnu, \"I quit in mid 2015 before starting GreenLine Labs in September of 2015.\"<\/p>

The state of our roads and the traffic is something one is well aware of, there have been instances where we've all seen an ambulance stuck in traffic due to jams and various other factors like being stuck due to traffic at a signal. GreenLine aims to change this using IoT, \"We at Greenline Labs are trying to make emergency services reach the destination much faster than usual. In India, more cases of fatality happen in the Ambulance. If the Ambulance could reach the hospital on-time, more than half deaths can be prevented. We make that happen, we provide the technology that helps ambulance reach the hospital faster.\"<\/p>

\"In July 2015, I had attended an IoT workshop, at the end of which we were asked to come up with a business plan using IoT. When I presented my idea, one of the jury members took interest and wanted to invest in my startup\" he says, about the start of his journey, \"I decided to wait, because I am not a techie, and I needed someone to help me out with the idea. That's when I found \tSree Charan Aradhyula, my co-founder.\"<\/p>
GreenLine Labs has now developed a working prototype, and are in plans of implementing it in real time. When asked where he sees the company in 5 years, he says, \"I hope to see this technology across India, to help as many people as possible.\"<\/p>
\"This field is all about passion,\" he concludes, upon being asked about his advice to students, \"if you're in it to make a quick buck or just because you think startups are cool, you will suffer. This is something that needs unequivocal dedication to your product, only then you can succeed, and I believe if a student has a great idea, they should chase it.\" <\/p>"}]
