The Hindu Group on Friday (November 07, 2025) launched “The Hindu Business Line Campus Connect”, an educational enrichment programme for college students at Gayatri Vidya Parishad College for Degree and PG Courses at Rushikonda in Visakhapatnam, aiming to enhance students’ learning, communication skills, career development and industry readiness.
The programme was launched with over 200 management students, in the presence of The Hindu staff and GVP College at the Central Library Hall of the college.
The Hindu Group Vice President (Sales and Distribution) Sridhar Aranala conducted a guest lecture, engaging the students with thoughtful topics such as “stress management” that would help shape their careers.
Mr. Aranala also addressed issues like time management, conceptual learning gaps, focus and discipline, motivation and burnout. These topics were mentioned by the students in the questionnaire shared prior to the talk. Later, the students engaged in the question and answer session, where the speaker clarified their doubts.
The Hindu Group A.P., Telangana and Odisha General Manager SDT Rao, explained that the The Businessline Campus Connect programme includes workshops, in which two guest lectures will be given (one physical and one virtual session), facilitating interaction with industry experts to provide practical insights to the students.
Secondly, the programme will include an intra-college business quiz on the college campus, which will provide an exciting platform for students to test their business knowledge and encourage healthy competition. Thirdly, the The Hindu group will provide Business Line newspaper, through which the reader will be updated on the latest business news and developments. Finally, students will get access to a wealth of resources including engaging case studies, insightful podcasts, weekly quizzes and other enriching content through the Business Line app.
“The programme has been designed to benefit the students in their career development,” Mr. Rao added.
College principal Prof. K.S. Bose and senior professors S. Rajini and M.S.R. Seshagiri also interacted with the students and encouraged them to participate in the programme.
