Bhopal, June 1 (KNN) Industries should be approached to formulate a target oriented strategy towards achieving maximum support from Corporate-Social Resource, said Kamal Nath, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh.

He was reviewing the Department of Higher Education and Skill Development in the state.

Stressing on higher education and skill development, Nath said that our goal is to ensure that every educated and trained youth gets employment opportunities. For this, setting up Knowledge Corporation Limited in the state will be considered.

He said that instead of focusing on the numerical strength in the field of teaching and training, we must constantly make an assessment as to how many got jobs.

The Chief Minister said that the department should develop financial sources of its own for the availability of modern resources in the field of higher education.

He asserted that local needs of the industries and trade should also be studied in the areas of skill development that can provide immediate employment to educated, trained youth.

Policy-based issues regarding higher education and skill development were also discussed during the meeting.
