Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi said at a Post Budget seminar that it is imperative to prepare the ‘demographic dividend’ of the country as per the demands of the changing job roles. The discussion was a part of a series of seminars inaugurated by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. He addressed the first session themed — Digital University: Making World Class Higher Education Accessible for All.
The panellists shared their views on the recent announcements made by our finance minister in the Budget 2022 including deliberations on DESH stack e-portal that aims to empower citizens to skill, reskill or upskill themselves through digital training. The facets related to PM Gati Shakti programme were also discussed along with the discussions around emerging sunrise sectors, tourism and logistics.
The Secretary of MSDE Shri Rajesh Aggarwal said, “DESH will remove information loss between stakeholders and resolve existing asymmetries. It is also critical that academia and industry work hand in hand as the pandemic has taught us that how existing skills can vanish overnight, and new job roles can evolve swiftly.”
