Is fourth Industrial Revolution knocking at our doors but whether or not we are responding with equal measure is not only very important but unless we do it in the right earnest , we might miss an opportunity which rarely visits the sojourns of potential as we in India have and which even the world recognises. The National Education Policy, undoubtedly, a well prepared document , is not only attuned to address modern concerns and aspirations in the field of education but the characteristics of its elasticity makes it fit to mould the students and scholars into the requirements of 21st century especially in the field of skill development and higher stratum of technology.
Higher Education Institutions, therefore, must burn midnight oil to give priorities less to routines and more towards skill development of the youth with an eye to be among the front runners to grab 5-G based technologies .We have to do a lot in the fields of medicine, agriculture, latest technologies, commerce and trade , management and administrative specialities and other fields so that not only were these fields of immense importance seeing a real turnaround in growth but ensuring we emerged as global leaders to show the ”way out”. That being the crux of what Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu while addressing the 6th convocation of PES university very rightly advised the management of the higher education institutions in the light of shaping class rooms in accordance with such concerns . Two satellites built and launched by the students and the teachers of the University demonstrated how in sensitive field like space sector, we were making progress and even taking along the private sector too in this mission .How was technological advancement and concentration on skill development going to generate employment can be gauged by the fact that drone services industry alone was going to create employment to over five lakh people just in three years. Hence education with skills and technologies in tandem and not in isolation would make India a self reliant country and address its various problems including unemployment.
