In a thought-provoking statement released earlier this week, G.S. Gopal Raaj, Editor of City Today News, called upon students to recognize the immense value of time and to utilise it wisely and purposefully in their academic journey and personal development.
“Time is one of the most valuable assets a student possesses,” said Mr. Gopal Raaj. “Once lost, it cannot be recovered. Hence, students must understand the importance of time management and adopt a disciplined approach to ensure they make the most of every moment.”
Highlighting the challenges faced by today’s youth, especially with the rise of digital distractions and a fast-paced lifestyle, the veteran editor stressed the need for conscious efforts toward time optimization. He encouraged students to create daily schedules, set achievable goals, and dedicate sufficient time for studies, reading, physical activity, and skill development.

Mr. Raaj further elaborated that the student phase of life is a foundation for future success. “What you do with your time today determines where you will stand tomorrow. Each minute spent on learning, thinking, and constructive action contributes to shaping your character, confidence, and competence,” he noted.
He also addressed the role of parents and educators, urging them to guide students in understanding the importance of time and to foster environments where time is respected and productively used. “As stakeholders in a student’s growth, we must collectively ensure that time is not wasted but wisely invested,” he said.
The statement has been well-received by educators and academic institutions, who echoed Mr. Raaj’s views on the critical role of time management in student success. Several schools and colleges are now planning to conduct workshops and awareness programs on the theme of “Time Utilisation and Personal Discipline” following his statement.
As a senior journalist and influential voice in the education and media space, G.S. Gopal Raaj continues to inspire the youth and society through his insightful commentary and responsible journalism.
