`Shaping Young Minds´
(Project Wisdom)

INTRODUCTION:
The teaching process in our schools & colleges focuses on preparing students for scoring high marks. However; high marks do not guarantee greater success. It is because we need many other qualities besides high academic performance to be successful. Qualities like a person’s total personality, communication skills, positive attitude, time management & general outlook towards life in fact play more important role.  However, most of the students when they enter corporate world lack these skills.
