The occasion was marked by an illuminating address by Cecil Antony, Chief Mentor and Trustee at NSHM Knowledge Campus. He highlighted the fact that the traditional divide between STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and non-STEM disciplines had dissipated over the years, and the youth of today has a wider gamut of career opportunities at its disposal. But the real challenge for the educators is to be able to guide an individual towards the ‘right career’ from amongst a multiplicity of options.
