District Employment Officer Ranjit Kaur said that 170 students of the three schools participated in these workshops, who were taught soft skills and points to overcome the fear of exams.

Career counsellor Aditya Rana said that the main purpose of these workshops was to prepare the students for the future by making them aware of soft skills. During these workshops, Sheetal and Vaishali, Assistant Professors of Soft Skills Department from Lovely University told the students how to prepare systematically for the important board exams, giving students an opportunity to study stress free. They said that along with studies, students get to learn hard skills, but soft skills like how to stand up and sit down, how to influence others with positive body language were not emphasised.
