While India is home to largest no. of students in the world, but unfortunately these students are devoid of accessibility of mentorship and guidance to make their educational and career choices. “ In India every strata of society has started acknowledging and identifying needs of education and families are making life long savings in getting their kids educated. Many a times they fail to make a right planning for their kid’s education and hence leads to many disastrous decisions for their career. Mostly herd instinct works here, which is not a healthy sign of a skilled economy. “ – Says Surabhi Dewra, founder of MeraCareerGuide.Com
