SRINAGAR, Feb 14: To sensitize the students about their role to make society a better place, South Asia Center for Peace and Peoples Empowerment (SACPPE) organised a one-day seminar in collaboration with Quest Educational Hub.
The seminar titled “Responsibilities of students to make society a better place to live in” was held as part of the SACPPE’s ongoing initiative to reach out to the youth and engage them in positive activities.
Dr Farzana Gulzar, Associate Professor at Management Studies, University of Kashmir (KU) gave students vital tips on how to prepare for competitive exams without taking extra stress.
Talking about no preparedness for failure, she said: “Unfortunately, our education system doesn’t prepare us for failure. Nobody tells us that if plan A fails then what would be plan B? That’s the reason when a student experiences failure.”
Dr Asima Hassan, General Secretary of the SACPPE said that in present times, drug abuse has emerged as the biggest concern for society and students are most vulnerable. She said students have to become role models for society and then only social issues can be tackled.
Umar Bhat, Vice-President of the SACPPE said the organization will try to reach out to people, especially youth who require assistance.
