New Delhi: Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has revealed the most valuable piece of advice he received during his illustrious career, recalling how batting great Sachin Tendulkar urged him to stay focused on cricket and ignore the distractions that come with success. Harbhajan, one of India's greatest off-spinners, said Tendulkar's words have remained with him throughout his playing career and continue to shape the advice he now gives to the next generation of cricketers. I think our seniors were so good because they wanted us to play well and become better within our limitations. The best advice I ever got was from the great Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan told Jio Star. Sachin paaji told me, 'There will be many distractions, many things will come your way, but you have to keep your blinders on, so that you can't look left or right, and only look straight ahead. And what lies ahead? Cricket! If you stay on this path, no one in the world can stop you. Whatever you want to become, whatever you want to do, you will earn every kind of respect, honour, and fame, everything, if you keep walking on this path,' he added. The former spinner said the same principle is central to the message he now shares with young players breaking into international cricket. Sachin paaji told me, 'There will be many distractions, many things will come your way, but you have to keep your blinders on, so that you can't look left or right, and only look straight ahead. And what lies ahead? Cricket! If you stay on this path, no one in the world can stop you. Whatever you want to become, whatever you want to do, you will earn every kind of respect, honour, and fame, everything, if you keep walking on this path,' he added.

Beyond MBBS | NEET opens doors to many rewarding healthcare careers
Thousands of students who qualified the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG) may not secure an MBBS seat. However, missing out on medicine does not mean the end of a career dream in healthcare. NEET serves as the gateway to rewarding professional courses - from dentistry and veterinary science to AYUSH disciplines and allied health sciences. These courses promise careers and opportunities for higher education, and have good employment potential in the changing world scenario. While MBBS seats have significantly expanded over the past decade, competition remains intense. The, number of aspirants continues to outnumber available seats by lakhs. While counselling is set to begin, experts advise students to look beyond the traditional perception of MBBS as the only choice. Instead, they advise that they must consider their aptitude, interests and long-term career goals. BDS: The Closest Alternative Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) is the most sought-after alternative to MBBS. The five-year professional course trains students to diagnose and treat diseases of the teeth and oral cavity. Graduates establish private clinics, work in hospitals, pursue MDS specialisations or enter academics and research. In J&K, BDS is offered at the Government Dental College, Srinagar, and Indira Gandhi Government Dental College, Jammu. One private dental colleges is also participating in counselling. Veterinary Science: A Profession Beyond Cattle Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (BVSc & AH) is perhaps the more rewarding of many other options after NEET. It offers opportunities in the fields of animal health, livestock management and public health. Veterinarians find employment in government animal husbandry departments, dairy and poultry industries. In addition, pharmaceutical companies, research institutions and wildlife conservation also look for BVSc graduates. The pet industry is expanding at a fast pace and pet clinics is a lucrative career choice for graduates. The course is offered at the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry of SKUAST-K at Shuhama and SKUAST-J at R.S. Pura in J&K. Nursing: One of the Most Employable Professions BSc Nursing continues to be among the most employable healthcare courses. The demand in government and private hospitals, community health programmes, teaching institutions and overseas healthcare systems is often insatiable. BSc Nursing is offered at many government and private colleges across J&K, with admissions conducted through JKBOPEE. Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) prepares students to help patients recover from injuries, surgeries and neurological disorders through scientific physical exercises and maneuvers. Physiotherapists work in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, sports medicine facilities and private practice. Allied Health Sciences The rapid expansion of hospitals and diagnostic services has increased demand for allied healthcare professionals. These professionals play indispensable roles in diagnosis, surgery, intensive care and rehabilitation and form the backbone of modern healthcare services. Courses available in J&K include Medical Laboratory Technology, Radiography and Imaging Technology, Operation Theatre Technology, Anaesthesia Technology, Dialysis Technology, Cardiac Care Technology, Critical Care Technology, Optometry, Dental Hygiene and Dental Technology. Admissions to these programmes are also conducted through JKBOPEE. AYUSH Courses Although allopathic medicine forms the core of medical science, many people resort to alternative medicine for treatments. Students inclined towards serving with the system of treatments perceived as traditional and safe can pursue professional degrees in Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) and Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery (BUMS). In J&K, like in most states of India, graduates are often allowed to practice in allopathic hospitals and government AYUSH services and wellness centres. J&K has AYUSH College in Srinagar. The career opportunities are immense and a missed chance of securing an MBBS seat may be a door opened for a more rewarding career in a different field of health sciences. Aspirants must ensure that the career path they choose and the college opted for is recognised by the professional board of that stream.

Quote of the Day by Jean-Paul Sartre reminds us that success is not measured by how difficult our work appears to others. It is measured by the impact we create through our best abilities.

In today's rapidly evolving world, opportunities often belong to those who are willing to adapt. Believing in yourself doesn't guarantee an easy journey, but it makes every transition more manageable and every challenge more meaningful. As new chapters unfold in our careers, relationships, and personal lives, confidence in our own abilities remains one of the greatest strengths we can carry forward.

BJP calls Civil Secretariat Gherao in Srinagar over 'outsourcing of local jobs'
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Jammu and Kashmir has announced a Civil Secretariat Gherao March on July 20 in Srinagar to protest the alleged outsourcing of local jobs and demand greater protection of employment opportunities for the youth of the Union Territory. The party has invited a broad spectrum of society, including members of civil society, chambers of commerce, trade and business associations, student and youth organisations, lawyers, doctors, teachers, employees' unions and other professional bodies, to participate in the march. The protest will begin at Ghanta Ghar in Lal Chowk and culminate at the Civil Secretariat, where the BJP plans to raise concerns over what it alleges is the increasing outsourcing of government and private sector employment opportunities to agencies outside Jammu and Kashmir. Party leaders said the march aims to build public pressure for safeguarding the interests of local youth and ensuring greater transparency in recruitment and contractual engagements. The announcement comes amid the National Conference's planned protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on the same day, where the ruling party will seek restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood. The BJP has criticised the NC's programme, describing it as an attempt to divert attention from what it calls the government's failure to address pressing public issues. Instead, the BJP said the focus should remain on immediate livelihood concerns, particularly unemployment and the alleged outsourcing of jobs that could otherwise be filled by local candidates. Describing the march as a public campaign rather than a purely political programme, BJP leaders said it seeks to unite different sections of society around the issue of employment. This is not just a party programme; it is a people's movement. We are inviting traders, students, professionals and members of civil society to join us in sending a strong message that the employment rights of Jammu and Kashmir's youth cannot be compromised, a senior BJP leader said. The party has appealed for large-scale public participation, saying the march is intended to highlight growing concerns over employment opportunities and the need for policies that prioritise local youth in recruitment and development projects. The protest is expected to draw participants from various organisations as the BJP seeks to build momentum around the issue of employment while countering the National Conference's political campaign on statehood.

College Vidya Brings Together Eminent Experts to Launch Board of Mentors for Career Guidance
Board of Mentors , a first-of-its-kind initiative aimed at strengthening the expertise of its Career Development Advisors through mentorship from distinguished leaders across education, leadership, public service and personal development. By bringing together accomplished professionals from diverse fields, the initiative seeks to make career counselling more informed, contextual and outcome-oriented for learners exploring online higher education. College Vidya launched its Board of Mentors, bringing together industry leaders to strengthen career guidance and empower informed higher education decisions The Board brings together Dr. Vijender Singh Chauhan , educator and public speaker; Himeesh Madaan , leadership coach; Amogh Lila Das , author and spiritual leader; Naveen Kasturia , actor; and Ravi Kapoor , former Indian Revenue Service officer and career mentor. Collectively, they bring decades of experience spanning education, communication, leadership, entrepreneurship and public service, perspectives that are increasingly shaping career success but remain largely absent from conventional admissions counselling. Commenting on the launch, Rohit Gupta, Co-founder and COO, College Vidya , said, "Choosing a degree today is choosing a trajectory for your working life, and that calls for guidance far more informed than traditional admissions counselling was ever built to give. The Board of Mentors is our answer to that gap, a continued investment in the judgment of our Career Development Advisors so every learner gets guidance grounded in where their field is actually headed." Through structured mentoring sessions, interactive workshops and regular knowledge-sharing engagements, the mentors will work closely with College Vidya's Career Development Advisors to deepen their understanding of learner aspirations, evolving career pathways and changing employer expectations. The initiative is designed to equip advisors with sharper industry context and broader perspectives, enabling them to guide learners with greater confidence and clarity. Learners, in turn, receive advice that is better aligned with evolving career opportunities and industry expectations. Himeesh Madaan, leadership coach and member of College Vidya's Board of Mentors, said, "Young people today have access to more opportunities than ever before, but not always the right direction. That guidance gap is real, and I am glad to contribute in whatever way I can to help bridge it through this initiative." Ravi Kapoor, former Indian Revenue Service officer , career mentor and member of College Vidya's Board of Mentors, said, "I have mentored lakhs of students over the past decade, but individual efforts can only go so far.

The launch comes at a time when the need for quality career guidance has never been greater. According to College Vidya's Career Guidance Gap Report, 51.6% of learners do not consult a trained career counsellor before making a higher education decision, despite an unprecedented expansion in learning pathways and career opportunities. The findings reinforce the need for structured, expert-led counselling that helps learners make informed academic and professional choices.

Through humour, the campaign highlights a familiar reality that while everyone has advice to offer, not everyone is qualified to guide life-changing academic and career decisions, reinforcing College Vidya's commitment to expert-led career guidance. Since its inception, College Vidya has helped more than 1.25 lakh learners explore and enrol in UGC-entitled online and distance learning programmes. With the launch of the Board of Mentors, the company is reinforcing its commitment to raising the standards of career guidance and enabling learners to make better-informed decisions in an increasingly dynamic higher education landscape.
