1. Tell us more about
your role & responsibilities at your college.
For
starters, I am the class representative of my section and also the Finance Vice
Head of Éclat- The Economics Society of Daulat Ram College. Finance is the
backbone of any society or department therefore it is a very crucial role and
comes with a lot of responsibilities. Being a vice head you have to contact
potential sponsors on a daily basis and at the same time manage the members in
your respective committee.
2. What's it like to juggle between a leadership role and normal college life?
It
is not easy especially during the fest season when I am not able to attend all
my lectures but that is where my friends help me to catch up. Being a CR I have
to make sure that my fellow students do not face a problem with their classes
and at the same time I also have to maintain the well-being of my society. My
team members and fellow vice head allow me to find equilibrium in this
situation.
3. How do your parent's look at you participating in extracurricular activities?
My
parents have always been really supportive. Even before college they have
always encouraged me to broaden my choices and explore as much as I can.
4. What are the top skills that you have learned with what you do?
I
think my communication skills have improved the most. My role majorly includes
getting sponsorships for my department which means I have to talk and meet a
lot of new people and that is helped me greatly.
5. How can we encourage more young students such as yourself to take-up leadership roles?
According
In my opinion, I think all the young students should be given a fair opportunity
to prove themselves in whatever way they think they are the best. This will
allow them to discover themselves and make them more prepared for the real world out there.
6. What you did in your current role that makes you feel really proud of yourself?
I
feel really proud of me for just getting this opportunity in the first
place. And I'll always be grateful to my department for considering me worthy
enough for this position. I also feel really glad that I got an opportunity to
be associated with Optima- The Annual Economic Outlook, the official magazine of
the Economics Department of DRC.
7. What's your message to encourage students to do internships and attend conferences?
Internships
and Conferences project a real-life image of what we learn in our classrooms.
Internships provide us with a trailer of a much bigger picture ahead. At this
age we should grab as much experience as we can and explore ourselves and
engage in activities beyond academics. Therefore they don't allow us to be just
restricted in our classrooms rather polish us into someone who can tackle any
problem that comes in front of them.
These
are my respective answers, thank you again for doing this with me. I hope this
helps!
