The plan proposes to create three to four million jobs in the US. "Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many.

Slide 21:Students opt to study abroad to wait out recession 2 Dec 2008, 0012 hrs IST, Shruthi Balakrishna, TNN The global meltdown has hit industry hard. Students despite making it through campus recruitments, are unsure whether they will get confirmed offers. With such uncertainties prevailing in the job market, many of them have decided to pursue higher education in India and abroad. Mr. L Dhanasekaran, head of Education UK, south India, told TOI that the number of visas issued from south India for students applying for UK in September 2007 was 6,846. www.timesofindia.indiatimes.com Mr. L Dhanasekaran, Head of Education UK, South India,


Slide 22:The number has shot up by 5,000 since last year. In September this year, the number of visas issued was 11,126. "Overall, 31,000 Indians are studying in UK," he said. Students preferred courses are MBA, IT, engineering, and applied sciences such as biotechnology, microbiology, pharmacy, physiotherapy, social science, law and journalism. "Considering the present situation, students prefer to study than take up a job. It may take more than a year for the market to come to normal. By then, the students will not only have an international degree but chances of getting jobs would be brighter," Mr. L Dhanasekaran said. www.timesofindia.indiatimes.com Students opt to study abroad to wait out recession 2 Dec 2008, 0012 hrs IST, Shruthi Balakrishna, TNN


Slide 23:The next hot destination for students to pursue higher studies is Australia. Data provided by IDP education showed that the first half of 2008 saw 25,000 admissions of Indian students in various institutions in Australia. This is a growth of 50% compared to the same period in 2007. Popular courses are MBA; hospitality, such as commercial cookery and patisserie; and pilot training. Students have also inquired about salon management, criminology, biotechnology, forensics, community welfare and horticulture. "Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia have also registered a significant increase in Indian students. This is because they come from a fast developing country that needs skilled and trained workforce." www.timesofindia.indiatimes.com Students opt to study abroad to wait out recession 2 Dec 2008, 0012 hrs IST, Shruthi Balakrishna, TNN

Of 600 students, around 390 have got call letters though no joining dates have been mentioned. www.timesofindia.indiatimes.com Recession hits placements in city 7 Dec 2008, 0239 hrs IST, Nikhila Henry, TNN

"Many students are planning to apply for higher studies," CBIT Principal, Mr. Chenna Keshav Rao told TOI. According to him, many of the 543 students who have got offer letters in the first phase are planning to go abroad as they feel appointments might be delayed. www.timesofindia.indiatimes.com Recession hits placements in city 7 Dec 2008, 0239 hrs IST, Nikhila Henry, TNN Mr. Chenna Keshav Rao Principal - CBIT What is weighing down on the present batch of students is the fact that their seniors have not yet got their joining dates though they passed out in May, 2008. "This has scared the present batch," Keshav Rao said. The appointment date of as many as 60 students has been deferred till October, 2009.

Slide 80:A short story about FAITH


Slide 81:This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002.   He was born with 3 legs – 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg which need to be amputated.   He of course could not walk when he was born.


Slide 82:His first owner also did not think that he can survive.   Therefore, he was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'.   By this time, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him. She is determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself.   Therefore she named him 'Faith'.


Slide 83:In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfing board to let him feel the movements.   After further training in the snow, he now can walk like a human being.


Slide 86:To achieve anything in life we need CONFIDENCE and DETERMINATION like FAITH.
