Jamshedpur, April 12: “It is becoming increasingly difficult to retain a job in the contemporary world thanks to cut-throat competition today,” said Manish Kumar of DAV school, Dhanbad, speaking on whether getting a job is more difficult than retaining it.
While a host of speakers from various parts of the state spoke on the topic, the second topic, whether the BPO industry is flourishing or dwindling, saw speakers share information at the intra-state elocution contest this evening.
The Institute of Computer Accountants (ICA) held the contest in association with The Telegraph at the Maharashtra Hitkari Mandal, inviting 25 participants from different parts of the state for the first time.
Judged by Lakshmi Kant Sharma, additional district judge, Jyoti Bhatia, philosophy professor at Jamshedpur Women’s College and Netai Das, administrative officer from ICA, Delhi, speakers highlighted the challenges involved in retaining a job.
“An employee today cannot even think of meddling with authorities given the huge number of possible employees just behind him in the race,” said Dipendra Kumar of Marwari College, Ranchi.
Being hard working alone cannot be the reason enough for employers to continue with employees unless they prove their mettle each time.
Participants hailing from Ranchi, Sasaram, Gumla and Deogarh were given three minutes to present their views either in English or Hindi.
While Mukul Mrinal of St Xavier’s College, Ranchi, walked away with The Telegraph trophy for the best speaker award, Suman Jha of the host institute won the second prize.
Manish Kumar bagged the third prize.
Rajeev Ranjan of Deogarh College won the first position in the Hindi section followed by Gunjesh Kumar Mishra and Anupam Kant of Gumla .
