Each student speaks for 1–2 minutes about their vocation—who they are, what they do, where they work, what kind of experiences they have at work, what problems they face and a message for all.

Correct Answer

I am an ASHA worker, a trained female community health worker. I work in rural areas, ensuring maternal and child healthcare. While fulfilling, I face problems like limited medical resources and community resistance. My message is that community health is the foundation of a strong nation.

I am a horticulturist, someone who studies and grows garden plants. I work in nurseries, nurturing plants from seeds to bloom. The unpredictability of weather and pests poses a constant challenge. My message is to respect and protect nature, as it sustains us all.

I am a welder, a person who fuses materials together. I work at construction sites, joining metals to build strong structures. The work is rewarding but involves physical strain and safety hazards from extreme heat. My message is that strong foundations require hard work and resilience.

I am a sericulturist, a producer of raw silk. I work on farms rearing silkworms. The experience requires immense patience, and diseases affecting the silkworms make the work risky. My message is that beautiful outcomes require patience and dedication.

I am a goldsmith, a metalworker specializing in precious metals. I craft intricate ornaments in my workshop. The work demands extreme precision, often causing physical strain on my eyes and hands. My message is that true value lies in the dedication poured into one's craft.
