Trace Tavanur’s goal is to guide students in choosing the right higher education pathways, competitive exams, professional courses, and career options while identifying and addressing the challenges they face. The program will involve teachers, parents, education professionals, and experts from various fields.

A career‑building session titled ‘How to Build Your Career’ was also conducted, led by Sulaiman Melpathur and Nisha K., covering career selection, study options, and future employment prospects.

Educationists and civic leaders such as M. Abdulla Kutty, Suresh Polpakkara, and T.P. Haidarali also addressed the function, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in educational guidance.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that rural regions like Tavanur often lack accessible career counseling, limiting students’ opportunities. Initiatives like Trace Tavanur provide a vital platform to bridge this gap, ensuring that students can make informed decisions that align with their interests and abilities.

"This program empowers students to chart their futures by selecting courses that match their strengths," says education specialist Dr. Sujita Shukla.
