My role focuses on seven key areas: • Industrial Connect: Onboarding prominent industries into the Green Channel initiative by the Tamil Nadu Skill Development Corporation. • CSR Coordination: Collaborating with companies like Microsoft, UI Path, IBM, and Infosys to implement industry-driven courses in colleges. • Career Guidance and Admission (Kalloori Kanavu): Empowering students to make informed decisions about college admissions and career paths. • Skill Development Implementation: Overseeing the delivery of skill development courses in Arts and Science, Engineering, Polytechnic, and ITI institutions. • Placement Drives: Facilitating employment by connecting students with job opportunities through targeted placement drives. • Hackathons: Promoting creativity and entrepreneurship by organizing hackathon events. • Special Skill Training Projects: Designing and implementing skill development programs aimed at marginalized communities. In addition to these, I manage overall program coordination, collaborate with educational institutions, and monitor the impact of these initiatives across the district. Previously, as a "Mahatma Gandhi National Fellow" in Viluppuram district, I contributed to youth employability and skill development. I held roles such as Inspector of Skill Training Centers and Nodal Officer for the Grievance Redressal System. This fellowship allowed me to build skills in district-level planning, program implementation, and stakeholder engagement. I also completed a 2-year "Certification in Public Policy and Management" from "IIM Ranchi", enhancing my expertise in policy-making and management. Before this, I gained corporate experience as a "Customer Service Executive at Amazon, " where I developed grievance redressal and customer service management skills. With fluency in English and Tamil and proficiency in MS Office and PowerBI, I possess strong communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills. I enjoy reading newspapers, playing table tennis, and investing in the stock market in my spare time. Passionate about continuous learning and growth, I strive to make a meaningful impact in dynamic work environments.

  • After completing my graduation, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a civil servant by preparing for the competitive examinations. This required me to take a career break and devote all my time and energy to studying and preparing for the exams. During this time, I focused on enhancing my knowledge and understanding of various subjects, including current affairs, history, geography, and political science, among others. I also honed my analytical and critical thinking skills and developed effective time management strategies to balance my study schedule. Although it was a challenging period, I remained committed to my goal and eventually succeeded in clearing some examinations like AFCAT and MGNF. The experience not only helped me achieve my career aspirations but also instilled in me a strong sense of self-discipline, perseverance, and determination that I bring to any task I undertake.
