The three-day expo aims to be a one-stop destination for parents and students

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The Lokmat Times Campus Club (LTCC) 'Mission Admission 2024' education expo, inaugurated on Friday at Lokmat Bhavan, witnessed a tremendous response on its first day. The expo aims to be a one-stop destination for parents and students seeking information on schools, coaching classes, universities and summer camps.

Dignitaries including Dr Ashish Gadekar, registrar of MGM university, CA Rupali Bothra, chairperson of ICAI, CA Kedar Pande chairman, Aurangabad Branch of Western India Chartered Accountants Students Association, and Yogesh Gole, executive editor of Lokmat Times graced the occasion. The inauguration ceremony was adorned with the release of balloons and the ceremonial lighting of the lamp. Yogesh Gole gave the introductory, while Tausif Khan anchored the programme.

Dr Gadekar, in his inaugural address, highlighted the significance of such expos in introducing students across the Marathwada region to diverse educational opportunities. He lamented the low rate of higher education enrollment (28%) in the region and emphasized how expos like these bridge the gap by providing career guidance and showcasing a variety of educational institutions that are the strength of the city.

CA Rupali Bothra emphasized the importance of career counseling, particularly in light of the new education policy, which mandates early guidance for students starting from the 8th standard. She lauded the expo for its role in empowering students with relevant information, counseling, and awareness regarding emerging educational opportunities. Bothra expressed her pride in being part of this initiative.
