Reforms, Innovation, Entrepreneurship Coming Together To Create Opportunities: Pradhan
Reforms, innovation and entrepreneurship are coming together in India to create unprecedented opportunities, said Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan while speaking in a policy dialogue on developing skills for the future in Melbourne.
Pradhan shared Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision and efforts to transform India into a global hub for skilled and highly-productive manpower.
He also spoke about India’s young demography being her biggest strength in the 21st century and added that skilled India will contribute to the Indian as well as the global economy.
Pradhan also expressed India’s interest in collaborations with Australia’s skilling institutions.
He appreciated Australia’s keenness to partner with India in advancing mutual priorities in skill development and also towards skilling India’s youth for the many opportunities in Australia.
"Both India and Australia have several opportunities to work together in the areas of skills assessment, qualifications and skills recognition, curriculum development and workforce development. A future-ready workforce in our countries will better prepare us to unlock global opportunities," he said.
Pradhan also held bilateral discussions with Brendan O'Connor, Australian Minister for Skills and Training and discussed forging deeper collaborations in the skill development sector and working together for creating a highly productive and future-ready workforce.
