Its time come to recall the history of Indian National Congress, when people believe to join the congress for their knowledge and Intellectual improvement. After independence party is facing a decline in the highly literate personalities who have mass appeal and have potential to guide the youth of india. Unfortunately present day politics does not support such persons, it support the opposite characteristics.
But due to the injection of Internet in indian society it will be possible now to get together for a mass revolution toward knowledge improvement in Indian Society.

Indian National Congress can plat a major role to this revolution and we have to. The reason that only a highly educated person can understand the principles and policies of Congress forced us for such efforts.

I proposed below knowledge which could be spread by the Indian National Congress through their organizational setup. the information are highly useful and essential for youth in present day world.

When thinking about a career, values are an important and often overlooked part of job and career satisfaction. Your career values will help determine what type of job will fulfill you and inspire you. Your values will make you want to get up and get out of bed and go to work every day and want to do your job. This Values Checklist taken and modified from Pat Boer a Monster Contributing Writer may help you determine your values.

Intrinsic Values
Intrinsic values are intangible rewards or gains not related to tangible results but based on motivation and satisfaction. Here are some examples in which you can rank (1 to 5; five being most important) how important each intrinsic value is in your career exploration:

_____ Variety and flexibility at work
_____ Helping others
_____ Helping society
_____ Being intellectually challenged
_____ Experiencing adventure or excitement
_____ Taking risks
_____ Feeling like your work is respected and valued
_____ Competing with your colleagues or others outside the organization
_____ Having lots of public contact
_____ Influencing others
_____ Working with lots of detail
_____ Feeling a sense of achievement or accomplishment
_____ Having the ability to express your creativity
_____ Working for the public good

Extrinsic Values
Extrinsic Values are the tangible rewards or gains that come from working including financial gains, job titles, benefits and earnings and the opportunity for growth and advancement. Feel free to rank these values as well from 1 to 5 with 5 being the most important.

_____ Having control or power
_____ Having travel opportunities
_____ Being well compensated
_____ Being an entrepreneur
_____ Working with a team
_____ Working in a fast-paced environment
_____ Setting your own hours
_____ Being wealthy
_____ Having prestige or high social status
_____ Wearing a uniform
_____ Receiving awards, honors, bonuses or recognition
_____ Working in an aesthetically pleasing environment
_____ Working in a high-risk environment

Lifestyle Values
The final portion of values refers to lifestyle values and how you want to spend your free time and your money or your life outside of work. Rank these from 1 to 5 as well.

_____ Saving money
_____ Vacationing at expensive places
_____ Living near and having access to educational/cultural opportunities
_____ Living in a big city
_____ Living in a small town or a rural community
_____ Living in a community with good schools and opportunities for young people
_____ Living in a community which is growing or thriving
_____ Having access to many sports/recreational facilities
_____ Spending time with family
_____ Living simply
_____ Having public transportation
_____ Living abroad
_____ Being a homeowner
_____ Having fun in your life and work
_____ Having a life outside of work
_____ Having time and the opportunity for spirituality and personal growth

Now you should have a better idea about what is important to you and your values. You should write down all your 5s, If you have more than 20 5s then you will need to prioritize. If you don't have enough 5s then include your 4s too. Now look at the three different categories and prioritize which categories are the most important to you. Then compare and see what values may go together or if there are any inconsistencies in your values. Continue to compare and analyze your values and write a few sentences about how your values should fit or match into different career types. You can use this information when researching careers and discuss it with your career counselor.
