New Delhi, June ,2023: As a run-up to the upcoming fourth G20 Education Working Group meeting scheduled in Pune from 20th to 21st June 2023, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) announced the launch of Jan Bhagidari initiatives across the country today through a webinar, which witnessed participation from over 10,000 institutes with more than 85000+ students. The Jan Bhagidari initiatives will be undertaken between June 1st till 15th across all skill development institutions and centres. A special session on “Creating A Skilled and Atmanirbhar Bharat” was also conducted by National Institute of Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development (NIESBUD) under the aegis of MSDE.
Aligned with Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s call to make “Jan Bhagidari” a ‘People’s Movement’ a strong element of India’s G20 Presidency, the events will be implemented by several institutions like Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS), Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendras (PMKKs) and polytechnics across pan India.
As part of these unique events, there will be skill hackathons, essay and quiz competitions, skill showcase competitions, skill olympiad – all in line with the overall theme of the summit – Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam or ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’. Furthermore, there will be webinar series on new age courses, training of trainers, digital courses, skill masterclasses, career counselling sessions, expert lecture by industry speakers, apprenticeship awareness workshops to raise awareness about the future of work, green economy and the importance of lifelong learning.
While addressing the webinar, Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari, Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, said, “Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has reiterated the importance of people’s participation in Jan Bhagidari events. Therefore, to raise awareness and imbibe the spirit of participation and ownership with India’s G20 Presidency the MSDE is organizing various activities along with the key stakeholders of the ministry as part of the upcoming Jan Bhagidari events. The objective of organizing today’s webinar is to create awareness in the public to come forward and join the entrepreneurial revolution of the nation. Both innovation and entrepreneurship have the ability to not just ease our lives through technology but can also provide employment opportunities to many. I am certain that through Jan Bhagidari events we will promote the mindset of becoming job-creators, instead of being jobseekers among the skill ecosystem. We require the spark of bright minds like our youth and look forward to meaningful discussions with our valuable partners during the G20 4th Education Working Group Meeting.
Assuming the presidency of the G20 Leaders’ Summit has come at a crucial time when world leaders and policymakers are aligning their efforts for the growth of the global economy. The summit gives us the opportunity to not only position India as the global skill hub but also as a global supplier of the workforce for other countries to overcome skill shortages and meet unmet demands.
