Peren, Aug 11: Assam Rifles organised a career counselling lecture at Government Senior Secondary School, Athibung, in Peren district of Nagaland on August 10, engaging students on career opportunities, skill development and pathways to higher education.
The interactive programme was aimed at helping students better understand the range of educational and professional opportunities available to them and make informed choices about their future.
During the session, students were encouraged to identify their interests and strengths, develop relevant skills and pursue education and training that can help them achieve their career aspirations.
