When we think of success, it means different things for all of us. For some, it is fighting against the odds to complete college graduation, for some, it is becoming the first woman in the family to get a job. For others, it may be to qualify and attain a scholarship that will help further their dreams. In a country like ours, a growing number of women are looking to work and are making their own success stories in the process.

Glow & Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair & Lovely Career Foundation) scholarships have enabled several women to pursue their education and move a step closer to their dream of having a career. There may be a number of reasons why someone might be in need of a scholarship. We have as an example, the case of Arshia, who was a B Tech student, to see how scholarships help students. Arshia was in the first year of her graduation when her father passed away in an accident. To support the family, her mother began running a small shop. As the oldest in her family, Arshia knew she needed to complete her graduation and find a job to support her family. She applied and received a scholarship from the Glow and Lovely Careers, which covered the cost of an entire year of her education. This significantly eased her financial burden and enabled her to focus on her studies, thus setting her up well for the future.

Another amazing story is that of Swati Bhura. She is from Kolkata and when she was quite young, she lost her mother. To help support her education and her family, she began taking tuitions while she was still finishing school. Her goal was to complete her education and become a Chartered Accountant. She was looking for scholarships for women and found out about our scholarship program through a newspaper advertisement. She won a scholarship and was not only able to successfully complete her CA course, she has also worked with some of the most prestigious companies including, Deloitte and Coca Cola since becoming a CA.

Sometimes, we may not be able to understand how to apply for a scholarship. Take the example of Vijaya from Seondha. Vijaya was already an Electronics engineer but wanted to become an Indian Public Services officer. She even quit her job to prepare but as luck would have it, she could not clear the preliminary that was held in 2017. A good friend of hers informed of the opportunity to apply for a scholarship by the Glow and Lovely Careers. When Vijaya applied and was selected for the scholarship, it gave her the chance to focus completely on her IPS preparation, freeing her of the stress and financial burden.

To follow your passion and become a successful woman, you may need help that might not be easily available at times. These women showed us the power of persistence and also finding the right help. If you too feel like you need some financial aid in order to pursue your education or prepare for an exam, you should certainly try to apply for a scholarship with the Glow and Lovely Careers.

When Indian Women Join the Workforce, They Help the Economy Grow

India, as a country, has come a long way in the last few decades with a whopping 133 million people rising above poverty and leading a good lifestyle between the years 1994- 2012. Along with being proud of this great achievement, what we must also bring to notice is the fact that this achievement could have been much bigger if the women in India joined the workforce in much larger numbers than they have. Research suggests that increasing women's labor force participation by 10 percentage points could add $700 billion to India's GDP by 2025 (or a 1.4% increase). This shows the significance of having more women in the workforce to help the economy grow. Although we have 43% of the total working women in regular wage and salaried positions by the year 2011-2012 (which is an increase from the 28.5% that existed in 1993-1994), we have still a long way to go in terms of including more and more women into the workforce of India.

Challenges of the COVID 19 Lockdown and the Importance of Correct Communication

Communication is a two-step process of sharing information and sharing ideas. There are 4 main types of communication: Verbal (using your voice), Visual (using images, graphs, etc.), Non-verbal (using eyes, hands, body language, etc.) and Written (using emails, WhatsApp, etc.) Actively listening is also a very important part of communication. Most effective team leaders are good listeners. It helps their team members express their ideas and suggestions freely. Open communication policies help companies save on operation costs by increasing the efficiency and productivity of their employees. Right now, we are facing a global healthcare emergency. Obeying lockdown rules is important to keep ourselves and our family members safe. Employees all over the world are still struggling to cope with the crisis and manage work from home. Clear and effective communication is the need of the hour. It is extremely important that your message is received correctly with no room for misinterpretation. Poorly crafted messages can reduce the efficiency of a team. Now more than ever, there is an increased importance of communication skills. Since most organizations cannot talk to their customers through traditional face-to-face meetings; they have started reaching out to them via email, social media, and voice messages. Naturally, in the coming years, there will be a huge demand for employees with good communication skills. Luckily, it can be easily learned. The Glow \& Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair \& Lovely Career Foundation) offers a course called [Basics of Communication](https://www.glowandlovelycareers.in/en/course-detail/niit-156/basics-of-communication). In this course, you'll learn effective communication techniques and gain the confidence to present your ideas clearly. A person with good communication skills tends to climb the corporate ladder faster and is more successful at building strong interpersonal relationships within the organization. Consider the importance of clear and effective communication in the present scenario: small mistakes by a healthcare professional regarding the dos and don'ts during a pandemic can negatively influence the well-being of an entire community. Good, clear communication is everybody's responsibility. The corporate world is full of stories where an email that was meant to be funny has been misunderstood and taken in an unexpected way by the recipient. It is much worse in these sensitive times when you cannot be physically present to explain your tone and context. You must know your audience and create your message accordingly. It must be noted that the written message stays on record and could be held against you. So, it is worth your time to invest in learning the tools for effective and clear communication. In a corporate setting, you'll be expected to deal with different types of customers and colleagues. You cannot impress everybody but, speaking concisely and clearly will help you connect with everyone easily. It will improve your negotiations and persuasion techniques. This comes in handy during the appraisals. Employers want executives who are interested in the long term success of the company. They promote individuals who can motivate the team, manage smooth workflow, and communicate effective solutions to improve their products and services. Good communication skills will ensure that you are a valued employee with bright prospects in any organization.
