Degrees /certifications just get you first job. After that your experience, product knowledge counts.But I think one should always go for reorientation, self-confidence courses time to time

I am always learning ,meeting people ,making new contacts/relations. Recently I joined INTERWOOD India,which I suppose is first INDO-PAK venture.Just to make new circles t,although INTERWOOD is into wood business
Thoughts on Education system of our country
Education system that was in our time or upto 2010 was very effective especially upto 10 standard,but with the introduction of CCE system ,pressure of studies on students is not much which has led to poor teacher - student relations. Students today are disrespectful to teachers & have least values, I think Board exams should be reintroduced,Corporal punishment in banned & students take advantage of it
My family background
