Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Thursday visited ITIs at Harinagar and Tilaknagar and enquired about the educational activities, functioning, and requirements of both the institutions.
In his second term as Education Minister of Delhi, Sisodia said, “In his second term as the Education Minister, his prime agenda will be to focus on the Skill Education.”
He said, “Delhi has laid a strong foundation for School Education. Now, concrete steps are being taken to lift the capital as well as the nation from the economic downturn by encouraging skill development and entrepreneurship.”
In 2019, the Delhi Skills and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) Bill was passed. Making it as his dream project, Sisodia has stepped up the process of visiting various technical institutions. MLA from Kalkaji constituency, Atishi also accompanied the Deputy CM during his visit to ITIs at Harinagar and Tilaknagar today.
Sisodia has planned to visit all the ITI, polytechnic, and skill development centers in Delhi over the next few weeks to understand their needs and what is required to bring them to global standards of excellence.
During his visits, Sisodia met teachers, staff members, existing students as well as alumni of these institutions to understand their concerns and take suggestions.
Sisodia said, “The Delhi Government has taken significant steps in the skill development and soon we will see its results. Delhi Skills and Entrepreneurship University will set an example not only for our country but for the whole world. It is our endeavor that every child should get vocational education as per their interest and ability so that they can achieve great success in their careers.”
According to Sisodia, “Every student will be fully equipped with an adequate understanding of the modern technology and practical training as per the requirement of the industry.”
Hi Sisodia said, “Due to the economic crisis caused by the Corona pandemic, Delhi is fully committed to providing the adequate skills and entrepreneurship needed for the economic upliftment of the country. Under this, along with the skills training, apprenticeship opportunities will also be given. The main goal will be to provide better placement and attractive salaries to all trainees while winning the trust of the industrial institutions. Financial assistance and scholarships will be available for the students.”
DSEU will coordinate with different foreign institutions for various courses and knowledge sharing.
