In a powerful step towards strengthening career clarity and global readiness for students, Career Compass : A Career Counselling Conclave was hosted at the CII Northern Region Headquarters, Chandigarh and was attended by the leading schools of the city. (L-R) Major General TPS Waraich, Renu Puri, Gulshan Kaur, Anju Mehta, Naomi Atkins, and Sourav Roy at Career Compass Presented by Testler (educational consultancy), Tutela (test prepexperts), and TRINITi, the conclave brought together school principals, education leaders, career counsellors, and industry experts to discuss how students can be better prepared for a rapidly changing future shaped by Artificial Intelligence, global education pathways, and emerging careers. The event featured thought-provoking panel discussions, focusing on how schools can nurture career clarity beyond marks, and how skill development must now take priority over traditional resume-building. The event was attended by pioneer of leading educational institutes in Chandigarh. A key highlight of the conclave was an engaging Fireside Chat with Manish Pandey, Co-Founder and CEO of BeerBiceps Media , who shared insights on youth mindset, digital careers, and the importance of self-awareness in navigating modern career journeys. The conclave was further honoured by the presence of dignitaries like Mr. Rajesh Kumar Gupta, Regional Officer, CBSE, Chandigarh , whose participation reinforced the importance of collaborative efforts between institutions and the education ecosystem. TRINITi , said, Career Compass is not just an event, but a step towards a necessary conversation. Students today are surrounded by options but still lack direction. Our goal is to bridge this gap by bringing schools, counsellors, and industry voices on one platform to build a future where career clarity is a part of mainstream education. Testler , added, The biggest challenge today is not a lack of opportunities, but a lack of personalized guidance. Every child has a unique potential, and career counselling must be treated as a structured roadmap, not a last-minute decision. Career Compass is a step towards making that roadmap accessible, practical, and globally aligned . Tutela , shared, The future belongs to students who are not only academically capable, but strategically prepared. Global admissions and test readiness are evolving rapidly, and students need mentorship that is hyper-personalised, data-driven, and skill-focused. Platforms like Career Compass help schools and students understand what global readiness truly means today . Educationist Renu Puri stressed the need to balance technological advancement with human values. She said that while Artificial Intelligence has made information more accessible, qualities such as empathy, individuality, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness continue to remain central to holistic development. Adding to the discussion , Gen Waraich reflected on the changing dynamics of parenting and education, observing that emotional support systems for children have weakened over time and require renewed focus both at home and within educational institutions. The conclave concluded with a collective call for stronger collaboration between schools, counsellors, institutions, and industry stakeholders to build a more student-centric, skill-oriented, and future-ready career guidance ecosystem in India.

J&K police will 'hunt and hound' ISI-linked drug operatives: DGP
Srinagar, May 14: Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat on Thursday issued a stern warning to Pakistan-based gangster Shahzad Bhatti, accusing him of working in tandem with Pakistans intelligence establishment to push narcotics and fuel narco-terror activities in the Union Territory. Addressing a press conference here, the police chief said security agencies would relentlessly pursue Bhatti and dismantle the infrastructure supporting the narcotics trade. A warning to Pakistan-based Shezad Bhati, who is ISIs acolyte and partner in pumping narcotics into India: We will hunt and hound you and your associates, and decimate your evil infrastructure, Prabhat said. He was flanked by Special DG Coordination SJM Geelani, IGP Kashmir, V K Birdi and IG Crime Sarah Rizvi. The DGP said Jammu and Kashmir Police has intensified its fight against narco-terrorism alongside its counter-terror operations, describing drug trafficking as a major threat to society and national security. While firmly focusing on combating Pakistani-sponsored terrorism, J-K Police has paid equal attention to the menace of narco-terrorism under the leadership of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha through the Nasha Mukt Abhiyan launched on April 11, he said. Highlighting the achievements of the anti-drug campaign, Prabhat said the police force has registered significant progress since 2023 in curbing narcotics-related crimes, particularly through aggressive property attachments and preventive detentions. J&K Police has shown consistent performance since the year 2023 in all parameters. There have been sustained property attachments, and from 2023 to 2026, in terms of attachment of property, there has been a 12-fold increase, he said. According to the DGP, Jammu and Kashmir Police ranked third nationally in 2025 for property attachments linked to narcotics proceeds and secured the top rank in the country for PIT NDPS detentions. There have been 240 PIT NDPS detentions, for which J-K Police has been ranked number one in the country in 2025, he added. Prabhat said the Nasha Mukt Abhiyan has resulted in a substantial rise in enforcement activity, with a nearly seven-fold increase in NDPS cases across the Union Territory. Eight hundred and six persons have been arrested in 724 cases registered under the NDPS Act, he said. Among the major arrests, the DGP named Gulzar Ahmad alias Lau Gujjar, wanted in 28 cases, and Avneet Singh alias Nagi, wanted in 17 narcotics-related cases in Jammu province. Both have been apprehended recently in successful operations conducted by Jammu Police, he said. Giving details of the seizures made during the campaign, Prabhat said police recovered 667 kilograms of narcotics and 19,000 units of psychotropic substances. He further said preventive action has been initiated against 24 habitual drug offenders and that 97 properties worth Rs 41.85 crore linked to narcotics trafficking have been identified and attached. Anantnag Police attached properties worth Rs 6.17 crore in a single case, which is the largest attachment in one case so far, he said. In a first-of-its-kind action, Jammu and Kashmir Police also attached properties located outside the Union Territory, including in Punjab and Chandigarh. Properties linked with narcotics proceeds have been attached in Gurdaspur, Pathankot and Chandigarh, the DGP said. Prabhat also revealed that 41 illegally acquired properties worth nearly Rs 15 crore, raised through narcotics proceeds, have been demolished after following due legal procedures. On efforts to destroy illegal cultivation, he said police teams destroyed poppy and cannabis crops spread over 117 kanals of land. The DGP said awareness and sensitisation campaigns remain a major component of the anti-drug initiative. More than 2,401 awareness programmes have been conducted across schools, colleges and public places in identified hotspots, covering over three lakh participants, he said. Prabhat also said the police intensified inspections of pharmaceutical establishments to prevent misuse of prescription drugs. A total of 5,238 chemists and druggists have been checked, and action has been initiated against 151 erring establishments, he added.
