She further encouraged the students to define their career goals clearly and develop a long-term vision for their professional growth. She urged them to envision where they wanted to be in the next five to ten years and pursue a career path that would inspire them to remain enthusiastic and committed. She also appreciated the efforts of the college administration in providing an appropriate platform for students to grow and excel. Emphasising the opportunities offered by technology and social media, she advised the students to use these resources constructively for their personal and professional development rather than allowing them to control their lives.
