Expert talk on mentoring

Psychiatrist and author Dr. C. R. Chandrashekhar elaborated on the need for mentoring in this era of digital and social media overload and said, “I did medical and later started writing articles on medical and psychological issues, the credit goes to my mentors during my college days, who explored my hidden talents and made me take the right path”. He also spoke on the influence of food, environment, and hormones on growth and academic performance in adolescence and early adulthood. He observed that empathetic support and guidance are essential to nurture young minds in achieving their dreams and ambitions as well as to keep track of their harmful distractions. Dr. Chandrashekhar clarified the doubts by the members of the faculty about choosing and adapting the right mentoring approach. The department of Science and Humanities organized the expert talk for the faculty on mentoring on March 2, 2023 at RR campus.
