For all Dakshana Alumni members: Please read and carefully follow instructions contained in the paragraph
below. Proper and full compliance in this regard will ensure more efficient networking, communication and
mutual self-help between members of the DAAN community and also facilitate assistance from
Dakshana/DAAN management when possible.
It is extremely important that all information requested in the Public Profile and the Private (Confidential) Profile
is properly and accurately filled in and updated whenever any changes occur. It is particularly important that the
following fields are completed accurately and cross-checked:
-
Upload recent photograph (should be passport/driving license photo showing the face clearly)
[This will help other members to recognize you on your college campus and/or at inter-college events]
Upload updated Resume/CV in PDF format
[This is essential for your own use and also to enable Dakshana/DAAN management to properly assist you
with Summer Internships and/or Job Employment opportunities when possible. Start early in 2nd year of
college to compile a Resume/CV that you can keep improving and refining over time]
Summer Internship Experience/Record to be properly filled out
[This will allow junior members of the DAAN community to contact you for advice and assistance with
summer internships when required. The export to excel file functionality will allow a 2nd year student to
compile a list of all 3rd year/4th year/graduated students who have undergone summer internships in
company ABC Ltd previously, for example, enabling him to contact these alumni seniors for help, advice
and guidance with his/her summer internship application to company ABC Ltd]
Private Confidential Academic Record to be properly filled out
[This is essential to have a consolidated/updated school and college academic summary record available
in one place for your own use and also to enable Dakshana/DAAN management to properly assist you
with Summer Internships and/or Job Employment opportunities when possible]
For all the above mentioned reasons, it is so very important that every Dakshana Alumnus member (including
those that have already graduated from college with an undergraduate college degree and have joined the
workforce) spends the time to properly complete and update (when changes occur) his/her public profile and
also his/her private (confidential) profile on the DAAN website at all times. This is the best way to build a
strong, inter-connected Alumni community dedicated to helping each other grow and succeed!! We already
have approximately 1050 DAAN members (as of Sept 2012) and this number is expected to grow exponentially
with each passing year. The DAAN website will be the glue that helps build the strong bonds between its
members to raise the level of achievement and success of the entire Dakshana/DAAN community as a whole.

English Communication:
This is a new section created with multiple folders overview, speaking, writing, emails, resume writing,
interviewing, listening and reading. We strongly believe that English Communication skills, knowledge and
proficiency is vitally important to achieve success in the business environment in India and abroad and equally
relevant to building self-confidence and self-esteem for all DAAN members (juniors and seniors)! We plan to
make relevant and useful material available in this area for all DAAN students to access and use in their own
time and at their own pace, with a view to facilitating self-learning in English Communication skills. More
information and details on this project will be forthcoming in the near future!
