Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) has reoriented education and skilling according to young people’s aptitudes, emphasising the need for an “industry-oriented” education system to meet the rising demand for a skilled workforce as India is becoming a global manufacturing hub.
Our educational system should be applied and industry-focused, and the Budget has set the stage for that. Our educational system has suffered from uniformity over the years. We have made changes to this. Speaking at a post-Budget webinar on “Harnessing Youth Power – Skilling and Education,” he said. We reoriented education and skilling according to the aptitude of the youth and the needs of the coming times.
In order to guarantee that children get “outside-the-classroom exposure,” Modi emphasised that India is adopting the global trend of “on-the-job learning,” with a special concentration on offering internships and apprenticeships.
According to him, there are currently 75,000 employers on the National Internship Portal, where 25 lakh internship needs have been listed. The industry and educational institutions were encouraged by the prime minister to utilise the portal to its fullest potential and develop the nation’s internship culture.
He stated the opinion that apprenticeships will prepare the nation’s youth for the future and assist businesses in locating labour with the necessary skills.
