Haryana's New Educational Vision: Bridging Skill Gaps

In a decisive move to catalyze educational reform, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has directed universities across the state to intensify skill development initiatives, targeting an enhancement in youth employability. He underscored the importance of bridging the education-to-employment transition through strategic partnerships between academia and industry.

Saini addressed vice chancellors in a meeting, highlighting the need for universities to collaborate with industry partners on at least 10% of their programs. This collaboration is expected to open new avenues of employment for the state's youth, aligning education with the evolving needs of modern industry.

Underlining the state's vision of holistic educational growth, Saini announced plans to establish Model Skill Colleges and Schools in each Haryana district. These institutions aim to provide specialized skill education, equipping students with the practical expertise required in a competitive job market, thereby bolstering the state's and nation's economic prosperity.
