A large number of <keyword id="8750874" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="millenial-farmers">millenial farmers</keyword> in villages around Nashik district of Maharashtra are making more money from alternative jobs like electrician, plumbing and fabrication than from farming itself. Most of these farmers are earning between Rs 7,000-15,000 per month from alternative jobs in construction-affiliated industry, which they said is "good enough money" to support their agriculture-dependent families. These millenial farmers, who are mostly educated till 12th standard, are gradually emerging as talented professionals, thanks to the vocational skill training intervention by PNB Housing Finance Ltd (PNBHF) as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative implemented with the support of Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI) and Vivekananda Institute at Nashik. Looking at the uncertainty in agriculture, a matric-passed farmer Sagar Nivruthi Bodke (22 years), who assists his family in a 2.5-acre farm land located at Tadwade village in Trimbakeshwar Taluk, took up the 45-day free training course on fabrication at Vivekananda Institute last year. "There is not much income from agriculture. Both monsoon and markets are unpredictable. Despite efforts of entire family, the return from a piece of farm land is very low. Youth like me cannot even think of asking salary for my share of work," Bodke told . Stating that farming is becoming difficult with increased water woes in Trimbakeshwar, he said an alternative job like fabrication comes handy to sustain during off season. "Now, I have my own work. I earn Rs 14,000 to Rs 15,000 per month. My family is happy that I earn from this new job and at the same time help them in agriculture activities," he said, adding that he was able to learn fast as the course syllabus was more on practical knowledge than theory. Sharing a similar story, 20-year old Abhishek Mohan Daghar said he has become a certified electrician after getting the training at the institute and been working with a building contractor for last three months. "I am getting Rs 7,000 per month, which is not bad for a 12th Class fail youth. We have 5 acres of farm land and I help my father in agriculture and also doing electrician job," Daghar said and added that he was ready to join a company if he was offered better salary. There are many millenial farmers like Bodke and Daghar in and around Nashik who have either become entrepreneurs or got placed in companies after the training. The objective of the intervention, PNBHF Chief People Officer Anshul Bhargava said, is constantly build inroads for upgrading skills of construction workers and creating a conducive environment for them. The purpose is to improve the socio-economic condition of this community. Now, the demand for such courses is increasing not only among millenial farmers but also from youth belonging to economically weaker groups who want to acquire new skills to find job opportunities. For instance, 21-year old Vinayak Rawat (12th class pass) after the training course got placement as electrician at Chinese home appliance giant Haier in Nashik and is earning as much as Rs 15,000 per month. "I did the course in June-July 2019 and now working with Haier. My salary is Rs 15,000 per month. Gradually I started earning more money because of incentive given on marketing of the company's products," Rawat said, adding that additional skills that were taught at the training helped him deal with customers, market the company's products and earn incentives. Under this partnership, CREDAI President Satish Magar said it has been able to directly reach out to 40,000 unemployed youth from underprivileged backgrounds, helping them access entry levels job opportunities in construction affiliated industries. Since many of the existing plumbers, electricians and fabricators have picked up skills on job and are not trained at all, Vivekanand Institute Executive Officer Sandip Kuyate said, "Such courses help supply of trained workers who can provide better services keeping safety on priority." "Along with the course, we teach additional basic skills like computer, soft skills, entrepreneur development skill, financial literacy and career counselling," he said, adding that such skills give them confidence to deal with customers. As per the latest data, PNBHF has trained over 1,500 youth in electrician, plumbing and fabrication skills in the last three years in Nashik district alone, while a total 41,744 youth between 2015-16 and 2019-20 across India. There is 70-75 per cent placement after the training. Besides Maharashtra, PNBHF is offering such training courses in 10 states -- Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Orrisa. The certificate courses are recognised globally as it is accredited by the National Skill Development Council (NSDC) and Construction Skill Development Council Of India (CSDC). The courses are offered free of cost to people belonging to economically weaker sections. PNBHF is investing Rs 8,000 per candidate for the training and aims to train 13,000 persons this fiscal. Many students travel 20-25 km from Nashik city to attend classes and Vivekananda Institute is also offering hostel and meal facility here.

It also invoked the wrath of President Donald Trump, who has thrown everything from social media and verbal attacks to unprecedented executive orders at the app in an effort to ban it from the US.Other politicians on both sides of the aisle have raised the alarm as well, from Democratic <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-campaign-tells-staffers-to-delete-tiktok-from-phone-report-2020-7">former Vice President Joe Biden</a> to Republican <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-senate-bans-tiktok-on-government-devices-2020-8">Sen. Josh Hawley</a>. They claim the app's ownership by Chinese-based tech giant ByteDance gives Beijing a powerful tool for everything from spying on US government officials to manipulating American public opinion.But for a handful of politicians, TikTok is providing something else: a direct, authentic connection to young voters.One of the biggest beneficiaries of that tool has been previously little-known Minnesota State Senator Matt Little, who has amassed more than 143,000 followers since opening his account in February, according to a profile of Little published Friday in <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/08/14/politicians-using-tiktok-matt-little-395620">Politico Magazine</a>.Little, a member of the state's <a href="https://www.dfl.org/about/">Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party</a>, has racked up more than <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@littlesenator?lang=en">2.6 million total views on his videos</a>, which include a mix of self-deprecating digs at his status as a public figure, jokes, and a dash of his policy positions, almost always involving the lip-syncing or background tracks that have become staples of the app. Little told Politico Magazine that he believes "TikTok's getting singled out because it's been the younger generation's tool for politics," noting that there are other popular apps owned by Chinese companies that don't get the same level of scrutiny.TikTok's user base skews younger than other social media platforms, with 42% of US users falling between ages 18-24. And despite <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chinese-video-app-tiktok-bans-paid-political-ads-on-its-platform-2019-10">banning political ads</a> beginning last fall, TikTok has become a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/27/style/tiktok-politics-bernie-trump.html">hotbed of political activism</a> for both Generation Z and millenials. <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/06/07/871065917/tiktok-pivots-from-dance-moves-to-a-racial-justice-movement">NPR</a> reported that videos with #blacklivesmatter hit 6 billion views in early June following the killing of George Floyd.Another popular presence on the app is Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, who has around 9,000 followers and has <a href="https://www.teenvogue.com/story/ed-markey-gen-z">spawned a number of stan accounts</a>. A spokesperson for Markey told Politico Magazine that TikTok has more work to do on data privacy, but appeared to brush off national security concerns. Little also expressed skepticism that security risks are the main reason why politicians are taking aim at TikTok, implying many are unable to deliver the authenticity and informality that users love about the app."I know the reputation of politicians... It's hard to be yourself all the time on these apps, but this one really allows me to do that," Little told Politico Magazine, adding that "If you get on there and do it wrong, you're just going to get roasted."The timing of Trump's beef with TikTok has also raised speculation that it could be driven by more personal or xenophobic motivations.In June, teen TikTok users claimed they <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiktok-teens-and-k-pop-fans-tanked-trumps-tulsa-rally-2020-6">helped tank attendance at Trump's rally</a> in Oklahoma by reserving thousands of tickets and not showing up.A day later, Trump campaign officials anonymously admitted to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/21/us/politics/trump-tulsa-rally.html">The New York Times</a> that online trolls played a role.Shortly after that, Trump and top officials from his administration began floating the idea of banning TikTok from the US entirely. At the time Trump suggested <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-considering-banning-tiktok-2020-7">the ban would be punishment</a> for the way China had responded to the spread of COVID-19, which he has repeatedly <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-aired-racist-misleading-coronavirus-claims-at-rally-2020-6">referred to using racist names</a>.But in an apparent acknowledgement of TikTok's massive pipeline to younger audiences, Trump just <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-now-has-a-verified-account-on-tiktok-rival-triller-2020-8">got his account verified on Triller</a>, a rival app based in the US that has seen a spike in downloads amid uncertainty about TikTok's future.

Marks, ranks and getting jobs are the sole motive of millenials. As much as all of these count significantly in determining the career graph of students, <keyword id="4358643" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dr-V-Ramgopal-Rao">Dr V Ramgopal Rao</keyword>, Director of one of India’s most premier institute Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi has some valuable mantras for students, mantras that are life-changing if you choose to follow them. 
 
He believes it’s important for them to focus on larger picture rather than just getting bogged down by low marks/ranks or over not getting a job. 
 
Coming from him, these 7 tips are the most valuable life mantras and they are as crucial as your academic performance: 
 
- Don’t just focus on placements and salary packages 
The dream for a student should never be to chase the best companies and the fattest salary packages, but to aim high with the right attitude. If you’re setting a goal, prepare yourself to become worthy of achieving it. 
 
- Learn as much as possible from the course you are pursuing and from the institute 
College life is when you inculcate good/bad habits and discipline that stays with you for life. The ultimate aim should not be to get over with a semester, but to learn as much as you can from textbooks, environment and your college life. Rote learning can only get you past exams, but real life learning can get you past the worst of obstacles lying ahead of you. 
 
- Make use of the opportunities that come your way 
It needs an eye to see the opportunities that come your way, and the willingness to tap them. If you are in a relaxed mood, the best of opportunities shall pass by you, and you wouldn’t even notice how you failed to identify them when they were easily available. 
 
- Enjoy the journey 
 Don’t lose the fun in journey by excessively focusing on destination. There’s more learning in how you achieved something in life than what you achieved. Let’s use an example - If you have a 3 day trip to Manali, you can enjoy the entire time if you realize that it’s just not getting to Manali that’s important but the way leading to it, alongside the beautiful river Beas, is in fact equally exciting. However you waste two days travelling if you fail to admire the beauty on the way and feel happy only to see the ice-laden mountains for that one day you spend up there. Every goal has a tough journey, and till the time you can enjoy that tough journey and learn from it, you cannot get to your destination. 
 
- Come up with ideas which can solve India’s problems rather than focusing on making a career in US 
Our economy is largely agrarian. If all the farmers today were to go abroad, what would happen to us? Where would we get the food that we eat? Not everything can be imported, right? They cannot afford to leave, but you can. However, think what a loss it is for people of this country if even one student educated in India is working abroad for MNCs. If we were to bring all of the back, India wouldn’t have stayed a developing country for long. 
 
- Nothing substitutes hard work 
There are no shortcuts to success. You work hard and you earn it. Nothing comes easy and what comes is not there to stay for too long! 
 
In the end, Mr Rao has to say – “At the end, this is just one beautiful life, make the most of it. Do what all you can, explore all the possibilities and opportunities, learn all through the way, and achieve your dreams.”
