Students revealed they are keen towards the creative industry but are often unaware of the existing opportunities. Arya Ved, a student said, “Most of us are clueless about what to do with our talent. Now with emerging social media and exposure we are undergoing a cultural transformation. Education is not just about knowledge but about holistic development where we grow as successful individuals.”
