He said academic institutions like MYRA act as enablers or facilitators to help you identify and drive an inner passion in you to fine tune your inherent abilities; achieve what you want and engage in a passionate way with the organization of your choice. So as a first step, it is every student’s responsibility to come up with an individual development plan; put in writing their abilities on one side and their aspirations on the other side. A work plan to fine tune your abilities and map them with your aspirations will then be possible and will guide you to your dream career path, he advised.
