Hailakandi administration launches mobile app ‘Career Nirman’ to aide young minds

On the holy occasion of Sarawati Puja, the Hailakandi district administration has developed an Android App named ‘Career Nirman’ that gives wealth of information on the various courses on offer in the State and Central Government institutions within the North East Region.

Inaugurating the App, specially designed for students, at a function held at SS College auditorium, on Wednesday, Deputy Commissioner Keerthi Jalli said it will provide information to the students of the state and the region as a whole on various courses available in the State and Central Government institutions and the career options that they can choose and pursue.

Speaking more on the benefits of the App, DC said that it is often seen that students feel there are no locally found options for further studies. Google shows private universities that have paid for ranking high in the search list. “The app is designed with a special emphasis on Government Universities/Colleges based in and around North East for local solutions. Lesser explored options like tourism and media are also covered for students to plan their career in advance” DC said.

Appealing to the students to keep pace with the fast changing times and to keep themselves updated, Jalli said, “Unlike in the past, things are fast changing and you have to follow your heart and passion to choose from many courses available these days. This is the advantage you have and to grab the opportunities.”

Terming freelancing as a mainstream job, Jalli said, “Today’s world is a gig economy and it is about working in your own pace, at your convenience as a freelancer. Unlike in the past when freelancers were called hippies vis–a-vis directionless as they did not have any idea and worked whenever they felt like. Today, through Instagram and Snapchat you can travel the world over and experience life aplenty. You will not be able to satisfy yourself in one platform of a job. And that is where designing of your career comes. It is no more mainstream type of a job be it computer science, electronics or doctor. So much of specializations have come in today.”

Citing Instagram ‘caption writing’ as a career option today, Jalli said all the big stars that we follow have specifically people out there who write captions and post for them in the Instagram.

The app is developed by District Administration and was launched by Deputy Commissioner in presence of Ranadip Dam ACS, ADC (Education), DIO NIC Mansoor Akhtar Barbhuiyan, Inspector of Schools Rajiv Jha and others at S S College. Android users can download the app from Google Playstore.
