Student Empowerment
• Students are a matrix of bundles of emotion like anger, uncertainty, jealousy, resentment, competition, frustration, disbelief, hatred for the system
• It’s a heady mixture of positive and negative energies• Empowerment comes in the form of converting them
to responsible citizens of social and individual values

• Break-up of joint families produce highly complex and distinct child members
• Students from nuclear families generally seek mentoring the most

knowledgeable• Readiness of Mentor to Accept it
