1. Tell us more
about your role and responsibilities at your college?
I am Chairperson
of GMRIT ACM Women student chapter. My responsibility is to
develop chapter programs and design a proper plan for an event to conduct. And
conduct the various events to enhance the coding skills, speaking skills, Presentation
skills and various workshops to improve their knowledge on various technology.
2. How did you
rise up to your position and how can a student be aspiring the same, approach
it?
Children
don’t know how to walk from birth, initially they start crawl using their legs
and hands then after they stand with some support like chair, stool etc., later
they will start walking. This is a long process which takes a year to go,
similarly, rise to a position will also take long time.
How I rise to this
position? I am actively participating in all the events conducted by management
as well as all the student chapters in the college. I stood in the best
position when I am competing with my peers and so on. These are things help me
to rise this position.
3. What is it
like to juggle between a leadership role and normal college life?
Being a
leader is not a simple task, it has a lot of challenges to succeed. Normal
college life is just to go to college every day and complete the tasks what
professors give us, but leadership is the one nurture a skill like how to
convince others and inspire others through communication. It is difficult to
manage the academics as well as leadership, but this management makes me to
learn time management.
4. What have
been some of your biggest challenges and leanings from what you do?
Biggest
challenges are managing both the academics as well as my responsibilities like
conducting events, attract students to participate, communicate with faculty
head to give updates about event, manage the issues in platform to conduct the
events.
I learn so
many things like communicating with officials, how to deal with students to
attract them to participate, time management, proper documentation of work,
stress maintaining and so on.
5. Do you enjoy
the kind of influence you hold at such a young age?
Yes, of
course my peers are approaching me to know how I handle the different platforms
to conduct coding events, ask me to clarify some doubts related to communicate
with others to convince them.
6. What are
your career goals and how is what you are doing going to help you with that?
My goal is
to become an IAS officer. And I am sure what am I doing now will help me. IAS
officer used to control the people and assign the works to everyone under her.
Leadership is the one skill is mainly required and also communicating with
higher officials to discuss the problems or issues present in the district to
convince them for completing the works. So, I am sure that what I am doing now
definitely help me in future.
7. What is your
message to encourage students to do internships and attend conferences?
Academics as
well as be a leader both are important. Everyone has a talent, don’t ignore
anyone try to learn the things from everyone. Internships are the syntax for
us, code will run only if there is no syntax errors similarly, learn the
technology by doing internship will make us to run our life without errors in
technology perspective. Conferences are also essential to learn communication
skills.
