New Delhi [India], March 24: Every child possesses some form of talent, and if they pursue their passion with dedication in their chosen field, success is inevitable. This was the message shared by Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty during his interaction with the media at the three-day ‘Delhi Creators Summit,’ organized by the Indian Institute of Creative Skills (IICS). Pookutty, who won an Oscar for sound design in Slumdog Millionaire at the age of just 37, emphasized that young people should strive to turn their passion into a profession. He also noted that the Government of India recognized the importance of skill development as early as 2012 and began working towards this goal.
Pookutty further explained that while every child is unique, many struggle to recognize their own talents. Often, due to societal or family pressures, they do not receive the opportunity to nurture their abilities. He highlighted that the collaboration with the Government of India is focused on skill development to help young people discover and cultivate their potential. He advised the youth to first evaluate their interests before choosing a career path, as selecting a profession aligned with their passion will allow them to excel and succeed.
It is also important to note that the Indian Institute of Creative Skills (IICS), with support from the Government of India, is soon to be formally inaugurated. During this announcement, Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of the National Skill Development Council (NSDC) and Managing Director of NSDC International (NSDCI), addressed the media, sharing that the institute’s mission is to uncover the inherent potential in every child across the country and present it to the world.
