Shri Rajesh Verma, Secretary, Ministry of Corporate Affairs; Shri Ashok Kumar Gupta, Chairperson, Competition Commission of India; and Shri Praveen Kumar, DG & CEO, Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs will be the Guests of Honour at the event.

Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship organizes a webinar on Skills, Entrepreneurship Development and Employability: Challenges & Opportunities

Aug 4, 2021 | Business

On the first anniversary of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, mapping a vital shift in India’s education system, a webinar on the theme ‘Skills, Entrepreneurship Development and Employability: Challenges & Opportunities’ was organized today by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE). Minister of State, MSDE Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar delivered his keynote address on the occasion as a chief guest. The occasion was also graced by the presence of notable speakers including Mr. Raj Nehru, Vice Chancellor, Vishwakarma Skill Development University, Government of Haryana; Dr. Nirmaljeet Singh Kalsi, Chairperson, NCVET; Shri Manoj Ahuja, Chairman, CBSE; Ms. Jahnabi Phookan, involved in Entrepreneurship Advocacy in Northeast and Ms. Anuradha Vemuri, Joint Secretary, MSDE.

Addressing the participants Shri Chandrashekhar said that as we celebrate the one year of NEP 2020, five years of Skill Development and 75 years of Independence, the Government is committed to ensure the academic welfare and bright future of the students. The Minister said that in line with the vision of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, National Education Policy is transformational and with the curricular integration of vocational training, it will create attractive career platforms for students. He informed that Skill ministry is closely working with Ministry of Education to make PM’s vision of skilling, reskilling and upskilling for our youth a success.

Speaking on the occasion Shri Ravi Mital, Secretary, MSDE, said that the implementation of National Education Policy 2020 is crucial in integrating vocational and formal education. The policy provides us a roadmap to introduce steady reforms, he added. Shri Mittal hoped that with this vision document, the more fundamental reforms will take place in our education system.

The discussion focused on the alignment of NEP 2020 with the skill and entrepreneurship initiatives of MSDE with an aim to make vocational education aspirational. MSDE seeks to provide skill training to facilitate employability of youth and equip them to take up market driven employment options. Towards this, the ministry is implementing various schemes and programmes for creating a necessary ecosystem for skill development and entrepreneurship promotion through short-term and long-term skill trainings.

Skill development and entrepreneurial policies have been developed within the context of India’s unique demographic profile and nature of workforce. India is home to the second largest population in the world, with over 50% of India’s population below the age of 25. As per available data, by 2030, the country will have the world’s youngest and largest workforce, exceeding one billion. With almost 80% of the workforce informally employed, it is important to improve employment opportunities through targeted skilling and employment generation initiatives.

Arvind Raichur on Entrepreneurs during the Pandemic

Aug 12, 2020 | Interviews and Features, Tech

“Entrepreneurs need to maintain their focus during the pandemic and be willing to adapt and pivot strategies based on the changing environment. This will help keep their business growing during this difficult period. These are extremely trying times for everyone, but like with most difficult periods, they will not last, and the pivots that you do today can help prepare you for a brighter future tomorrow.” – Arvind Raichur, CEO, MrOwl

About Arvind

Arvind is the CEO and co-founder of MrOwl, a Social Cloud Storage™ platform that brings together the best of search, social, and the cloud all in one app. He was one of the early pioneers of internet “organization”. Prior to the web categorization we have grown to depend on today, he co-founded AttorneyLocate.com and AllLaw. com, online attorney and legal directories that built communities around legal information. At the time, information on attorneys was not disseminated in an organized way. He had a vision and created easy to-use directories that thrived for many years before they were sold to Internet Brands, Inc. in 2010.

Arvind has continued to redefine the way consumers use the internet with his latest company, MrOwl, where users can store, share and simultaneously search their cloud, computer files, and the internet all together because they all belong in one search box. Consumers build collections, called “branches,” with subtopics, links, documents and media. Users can upload gigabytes of data with a few clicks and have it automatically organized into a MrOwl “branch” that is shareable and searchable. Now you can save it once, and search it infinitely. It’s never been easier to connect and collaborate with endless communities and discover what others have shared.

Arvind attended the University of New Mexico where he graduated with a double B.A. in economics and political science and a Juris Doctorate. As the CEO of MrOwl, Arvind has been a frequent speaker on internet trends. In 2012, Arvind was honored as one of the Top Performing CEOs. With his commitment to superior service, and a workplace culture that puts people first, Arvind has become a recognized leader in driving his companies to become one of New Mexico’s Best Places to Work.
