Her insights on stress management\, emotional wellbeing\, and practical coping strategies truly resonated with students navigating this crucial transition phase. \nThe session focused on: \nโ€“ Understanding stress and burnout during placements\nโ€“ Practical coping strategies for balance and clarity\nโ€“ Building mental resilience during uncertainty\nโ€“ Encouraging open conversations around wellbeing \nAt Development Wala\, we believe professional growth must go hand in hand with mental wellbeing. Supporting students emotionally during placements is just as important as preparing them professionally. \nThank you to all the students who participated actively and made the discussion meaningful. \nLivelihoods- Rural Development\, TISS Hyderabad\, TISS Guwahati-Placement Cell\, Tata Institute of Social Sciences \nhashtag#MentalHealth hashtag#StudentWellbeing hashtag#CampusPlacements2026 hashtag#Resilience hashtag#HigherEducation hashtag#SocialWork hashtag#DevelopmentSector URL:https://developmentwala.com/event/%f0%9d%90%8c%f0%9d%90%9e%f0%9d%90%a7%f0%9d%90%ad%f0%9d%90%9a%f0%9d%90%a5-%f0%9d%90%87%f0%9d%90%9e%f0%9d%90%9a%f0%9d%90%a5%f0%9d%90%ad%f0%9d%90%a1-%f0%9d%90%92%f0%9d%90%9e%f0%9d%90%ac%f0%9d%90%ac/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://developmentwala.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/1.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20260314T190000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20260314T203000 DTSTAMP:20260412T095556 CREATED:20260321T180720Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260321T180720Z UID:2295-1773514800-1773520200@developmentwala.com SUMMARY:RKMVERI Placement cell Session on Interview Preparation & Career Readiness DESCRIPTION:Alumni Interaction Session on Interview Preparation & Career Readiness \nThe Placement Cell of Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute (RKMVERI)\, Ranchi\, successfully organized a special Alumni Interaction Session as part of its Alumni Connect Program for final-year students.
