NEW DELHI, Oct 15: The Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University will start the courses from the coming academic year. The university, one of a kind, aims at meeting the human resource requirements of the business world, working in close consultation
with companies, which will be treated like “customers.” The courses will be designed
as per the demands of the industry.
“The Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University has been established through
an Act of the Delhi Legislative Assembly. I am glad to announce that the university
has started functioning today. The first board meeting of this university was
held today,” Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said at an online press conference
on Monday.
The new educational scheme envisions jobs for all those who pass out of the
university. As the courses will tailored to suit the industry demands in consultation
with them, students will be able to immediately take up an occupation by getting
hands-on training at the companies.
Dr Neharika Vohra, head of the Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship
(CIIE) at IIM-Ahmedabad (in pic), has been appointed as the Vice-Chancellor.
The board members include Pramath Raj Sinha, founding dean of the Indian School
of Business and founder of the Ashoka University, Genpact founder Pramod Bhasin,
Naukri.com founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani, entrepreneur Shrikant Sastri and IP
University founder Vice-Chancellor KK Aggarwal.
India began looking for ways, in its characteristic style, to adequately skill
the manpower about a decade ago when foreign experts drew the attention of the
Government to unskilled labour being the root of underdevelopment and backwardness
in the country. A glaring lack of quality in workforce has a telling effect
on productivity and the overall quality of life, and that has been India's story
so far which is now being sought to be reversed.
Kejriwal said he had interactions with businesses that did not have qualified
people to work for them. "On the one hand, many young students are unemployed
and on the other, industries are not able to find skilled and trained labour.
If we impart skills to our children, the industries will give them jobs,” he
argued.
COMMENT: 'Unskilled' manpower has been the curse of India's productivity
and quality of life that bothered neither the Government nor the
trade unions in the country for the past over seven decades - or
did not have the ability to decipher. It has been an all-pervasive
evil that is always taken for granted. Now, Delhi has launched a
university for skill development. It will be tuned to the
requirements of the industry, and the youth will get jobs instantly, and the industry will get skilled hands, claims Chief Minister Kejriwal! |
