New Delhi :- Kota’s District Collector Dr Ravindra Goswami has launched a new initiative ‘Kamyab Kota’ under which the district collector will have a weekly dinner every Friday with the coaching students in the city at their hostel. The aim behind this weekly dinner is to sit and discuss any issues the JEE and NEET students would be facing.
The initiative has been launched as a part of the Kota district administration’s effort to tackle the student suicide cases. This Friday, Goswami dined with women students at the Shiv Residency Girls Hostel in Kunhadi Landmark City, where the District Collector spent about two hours with the students.
In a conversation with the students, he told that he also came to Kota for coaching as a student and left soon after not liking it and then got success by studying on his own. He said that there are periods in student life when there is confusion, indecision and stress. ‘In this case, there is a need to be strong and work wisely. Problems come to make us stronger. Instead of running away from panic, face them head on. The future will be bright,’ he told the students.
He also advised students to always keep other options open. “A career goal is only a path, not a destination. There will be failures in achieving the goal, there will be disappointment, but don’t give up. Don’t judge yourself just by failing in any exam. If you deserve it, keep trying, but there must be a limit. Be sure to keep other options open as well,” he said.
Goswami advised students to divide study time into small chunks, instead of having long study sessions. He also told students to reach out to their friends in the hostel in case they don’t feel good. “Do whatever area you feel confident and happy in. Create a family atmosphere with your friends in the hostel so that you will not feel homesick and will also help in your studies. Adapt to something that doesn’t suit you,” he said.
Assistant Director Public Services Gajendra Singh, Chambal Hostel Association President Vishwanath Sharma, Secretary Satpreet Singh, Manish Mundra, Raju Gautam, Sandeep Agarwal, Rajesh Kataria etc. were also present at the dinner.
