But had their thoughts been moulded and had they been properly guided, they would have preferred to train themselves in some field and instead of studying aimlessly they would have been earning for their families.
Lately, this need has been felt and a number of vocational courses have been taken up by colleges. Slowly this vocatinalisation is picking up. Once a student opts for a certain course, he knows his mission and future very well Instead of living in a world of make-believe, he is sure of a career.
