New Delhi, Jan 31 (KNN) With an aim to catalyse skill development and entrepreneurship initiatives, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) and National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) have initiated a strategic partnership through a joint workshop with Wadhwani Foundation.
The outcome is to create more jobs, such that people who are skilled and trained get employed and the demand of the demographic dividend of the country is satiated, said the Minister of State, Rajiv Pratap Rudy at the event held on Friday.
Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Sunil Arora stated that the National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN) of the foundation has created a strong network through 600 colleges, 4000 mentors and 3000 faculty members that continue to create and support emerging young entrepreneurs.
“The entire ecosystem of skilling is intricate and involves not just skilling but also re-skilling, up-skilling and multi-skilling. These are the real islands of excellence and need to be scaled up throughout the country,” he said.
In his address, Wadhwani Foundation Chairman, Romesh Wadhwani said this partnership has a goal of creating and filling 25 million organised sector jobs by 2020. It will go a long way in meeting their joint objective of combining job growth with economic growth.
