Young leadership offers TMC a chance

While talking about his professional experience, he shares that he aims to “encourage and motivate the young generation of students of our state to join TMCP and immerse them in the principles and ideals our party laid down by our CM Mamata Banerjee and our National General Secretary MP Abhishek Banerjee."

Shibashish, who is a lawyer by profession, would also want “the student elections to be held at the earliest so that the new generation receives the opportunity to showcase their interests in student politics.”

He also expressed to interact with the young generations and help them in building their self-confidence and public speaking skills. He shares, “Many approach me to seek guidance regarding career options, help in the legal field, which I am more than happy to help them.”

For education, he has been staying in London for a long time, and he thinks that the secondary & higher secondary education system requires some subject-based approaches, which would enable the students to choose and concentrate on a specific goal that they want to achieve.
