'Skill development courses should be introduced in universities'
The universities should develop skills among students but there is also a need to make courses available to school students. As a part of globalisation, modern knowledge has come into use more after Covid-19. Keeping these in mind, it is suggested to create courses that provide employment to students and are in demand in the market. They want to increase the brand value of their respective organisations by entering into MoUs with organisations that provide skill and vocational training courses. - Prof Rajan M Welukar
