This integration makes the program an ideal proposition for students as they earn and learn and for employers they get industry ready resources.
Raj Nehru dedicated the award to the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister of Haryana Manohar Lal, who had visualised to establish the first Skill University in the country. Nehru said that being the founder Vice-Chancellor of Shri Vishwakarma Skill University, he feels extremely proud that in such a short span of time, the University has made significant progress that has led the Government to recognise their efforts and rewards them with the Good Governance Award.
This new model has gone beyond the boundaries and partnered with industries to include the pre defined job roles and associated work into the curriculum. This change has enabled the students to earn while learn. Every student is paid a decent stipend ranging from Rs 8000 to 25000 per month by different industries.
