"Engineering colleges are closing down because the children coming out of these colleges cannot be employed because they do not know about technical part (do not possess job skills) of it. The industry wants those with skills," said Rudy
Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Union Minister for Skill development said, "The skill development vision of the Modi government has led to a discussion in the country that imparting skills is more important than education."
During the inaugurating ceremony of various skill development courses he said, "Unfortunately, in Indian system education has a distinct bias against skills and all those who became important mostly were educated and everyone thought that education was more important and skills became secondary."
He further added," This is for the first time that (with) Prime Minister's focus on providing job skills, there is a discussion now in the country that skilling is more important than education. Engineering colleges are closing down because the children coming out of these colleges cannot be employed because they do not know about technical part (do not possess job skills) of it. The industry wants those with skills. With 10-year or 12-year school education (if one is imparted), 10 or 12 weeks training, no one can stop you from getting employment. This is the strength of skills and we are working towards this."
Rudy added by laying the emphasis on skills " Proper skills can help in earning high salaries and those who get trained in (centres like) Swarna Bharat Trust will get Rs 30,000- Rs 40,000 in six months training, this is the difference we have to create."
