Imphal, November 22 2014 :
Two books titled 'Dare to Dream' and 'Career Planning Resources' authored by Rev Fr Stephen Touthang, principal of St Joseph's School, Sugnu were released during a solemn function at Tampha Hotel, North AOC today.
The release function was graced by Dr Nandakumar Sarma, Vice-Chancellor of Manipur University as chief guest; Rev Joseph Mittathany, DD, Archbishop Emeritus of Imphal as president; Dr Ibomcha Sharma, principal of DMCTE; SL Varte, Director of IGNTU and Premlata Meisnam, HOD, Education Department as guests of honor.
Speaking on the occasion, Rev Fr Stephen Touthang said that many students are pursuing education without setting goals of their studies which need to be rectified, while asserting that his two books were written with an aim to share valuable knowledge to students who lack visions and goals.
Noting that setting goals during early period of studies should be the top priority of students, he asserted that parents should encourage and guide their children during schooling as these would boost their confidence.
Choosing of career should be left to students so that they could choose kind of course which suit them best.
The role of teachers in supporting and guiding students and identifying their aims and suitable course is also of paramount importance, he added.
