Article link: PM's
mantra to students: Degrees valuable, but skills make you indispensable
Extract from the article:
In a recent interaction during Pariksha Pe
Charcha 2025, PM Narendra Modi emphasized the importance of skills alongside
degrees, stating that "Degrees are valuable, and skills make us
indispensable."
He highlighted the empowering nature of skills
when utilized effectively. This break from tradition involved an open-air
conversation with students, focusing on the practical relevance of skills in
today's dynamic world.
PM Modi's message reflects a shift towards
recognizing the significance of practical expertise over mere academic
qualifications.
By encouraging students to develop valuable
skills alongside their degrees, he underlines the evolving nature of the job
market and the need for adaptability and hands-on abilities for becoming truly
indispensable in the workforce.
My Take:
Human
Resource Capital of the World
In my blog discussing PM Modi's vision of making
India the "Human Resource Capital of the World," I highlighted his
emphasis on skills and self-confidence.
The recent statement by PM Modi further
reinforces the importance of skills in empowering individuals and driving
economic growth. The focus on skill development resonates with the idea of
creating opportunities for the youth to excel in a competitive global
landscape.
PM Modi's mantra aligns with the notion that
skills not only boost financial prosperity but also instill a sense of
self-belief among individuals, especially the marginalized sections of society.
In my earlier blog on making India the
"Skill Capital of the World," PM Modi's commitment to enhancing skill
development was evident. His recent statement about skills making individuals
indispensable reinforces the need for a skilled workforce to meet the demands
of the future.
As PM Modi envisions a surplus of skilled
manpower for export, the urgency of imparting practical skills to the youth
becomes even more critical.
The reforms in the Apprentice Scheme and the
focus on inclusivity in skill training align with the broader goal of
positioning India as a hub for skilled professionals globally.
Call to Action:
To the educational institutions and policymakers
mentioned in the article, I urge you to prioritize skill development programs
that complement academic degrees.
Embrace the evolving job market dynamics by
equipping students with practical skills that enhance their employability and
make them indispensable assets in the workforce.
Let's work together to bridge the gap between
theoretical knowledge and practical expertise, shaping a future where skills
are valued as much as degrees.
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
