Setting up the tone of the event, Prof. (Dr.) SS Pattnaik, Director, NITTTR said, “Educational Conclaves like these will contribute in integrating science & technology with the learning, in order to meet the changing demands for attaining the centre of excellence in the education sector.”

Emphasizing on the rationale of the event, Mr. Subodh Aggarwal, Advisor, Regional Council of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh-FICCI said, “Industry requirement of technology is ever-evolving. There is a dire need to build a strong foundation for our educational system, and add dues according to the specific requirements of the respective industries.

“”Today our society has been segmented into two parts i.e. the rich and the poor. All government schools in Punjab teach the students in Punjabi. When I raised voice against it in the Vidhan Sabha and emphasized on the need for English, they saw me as a foe of Punjabi language. If we go by the statistics, only 10% schools in Punjab have science as a subject in their curriculum. So, I feel that the problems that we face in the educational sector exist at the grass root level. In order to accelerate the education condition in our country, I’ve taken some reformative initiatives like setting up of CCTV cameras in the campuses, biometric attendance system for both teachers & students, and career & counseling services for the students as well as their parents.” said the Chief Guest, Shri Charanjit Singh Channi, Hon’ble Minister for Technical Education and Industrial Training, Punjab.

Mr. GB Singh, Regional Head, FICCI concluded the inaugural session with a vote of thanks. “Education is a great leveler, and provides the only sustainable route to reduce disparities. Many key issues being faced by the technical educational sector are multilayered & interlinked, involving institutions & other regulatory bodies. Necessary steps should be undertaken to ensure alignment of the technical education system with state & national priorities for competitiveness in the global knowledge economy. Engagement of key stakeholders should be a key dimension of this planning”, he said.

The technical conference accentuated on integrating Governmental initiatives for an all- inclusive, globally competitive & effective technical education ecosystem in the country, the interactive session focused on the current governmental initiatives to address the same.

The dignitaries discussed the novel teaching practices prevailing in India, primarily digitization & automation, focusing on innovative models and pathways in technology. The last session relooked into the education, skill & employability sector, taking a comprehensive overview of the demands & gaps, and the need for time-bound synergistic efforts in this direction to achieve the goals of skill India mission.
