‘Wards should not be pressured over career’

Imphal: Guardians need to motivate students based on their capabilities and interests, they should not be pressurised in choosing their career.

This was said by MLA Kh. Raghumani Singh at the 1st Kabi Khwairakpam Chaoba Meritorious Award-2024 function, held on Sunday at IMA premises, Imphal.

The function was organised by the All Uripok Apex Body (AUAB) under the sponsorship of the Uripok Assembly Constituency MLA.

He said many parents or guardians push their wards towards careers without understanding the students’ capabilities or interests. This often results in talented students not achieving their goal.

There is need for proper counselling to help students find the right path for their careers, he added.

President of AUAB, L. Bimol Kishor Singh and MLA Sapam Kunjakeswor Singh also attended the function.

A total of 398 students who recently cleared the Class X and XII examinations conducted by the Board of Secondary Education Manipur, Central Board of Secondary Education, and Council of Higher Secondary Education Manipur were appreciated with cash awards and citations.
