Jaipur, 21 st August, 2019:
The first pure Skill University in the country, Bhartiya Skill Development University, today
organized ‘ITI Principals Summit – 2019’ where about 300 principals attended the summit from
across Rajasthan. The agenda of this principals' summit was to identify and to understand and
resolve different challenges that school/institution principals face with probable solutions. The
next step by Bhartiya Skill Development University is to enhance students skilling level. The
participating principals in the summit belong across Rajasthan who were invited to BSDU to
create an awareness on skill trainings and programs offered at the University.
BSDU in a revolutionary step towards skill education, practices Swiss dual system of education
by blending real time industry exposure with world class equipped machinery in the university’s
curriculum. A brainchild of Dr. Rajendra Kumar Joshi and his wife, Mrs. Ursula Joshi, BSDU
showcases best curriculum practices who are dedicated towards bringing about a positive
transformation through skill development in Rajasthan. BSDU in its effort would like to replicate
its model of empowering students through Swiss Dual System of Skill Development and giving a
platform to introduce skill education in the country. In line with their efforts BSDU showcases
its skilling system that is backed with international and national trainers for every skill along
with world-class infrastructure, machinery and equipment.
Dr. (Brig.) Surjit Singh Pabla, President, Bhartiya Skill Development University says,
“Education, vocational training and lifelong learning are the pillars of employability. To enable
employment ready workforce in future, the youth needs to be equipped with necessary skills and
education. For better jobs, graduation and post-graduation is very important and the best part
is now students can have a graduation degree (B.Voc) while getting trained into different skills
which opens new ways and possibilities for career growth. We as BSDU is happy to take the
nation on upfront to the world by enhancing the skill of youth by pre-admitting them during
their studies. I would like to congratulate all the Principal for taking part in the Conclave for
better future aspects and hope to see positive change in education landscape of Rajasthan.”
The objective of the Principals Summit 2019 is to help provide academic facilities by giving them
practical exposure, students would be able to learn through a curriculum that is designed by
industry experts, and students would receive an international platform through an interaction
with Swiss trainers and senior faculty members of BSDU and would receive practical experience
through Industry exposure. Students will be oriented at the BSDU campus to be familiarized
with the University. Students will also be engaged through Lectures on English, Personality
Development classes and technical classes in their respective schools on weekends.
Mr. Samit Sharma, IAS, Commissioner Skills, Employment and Entrepreneurship, Government
of Rajasthan says, "I am extremely glad to be here at BSDU for the Principals' Summit. After
looking at the model of BSDU, I would like to suggest other ITI institutes to take inspiration from
the university and grow to this level by expanding their curriculum and reach to give the
students more exposure in the industry. Rajasthan Government is also planning to contribute to
the ITI sector by enhancing ITI institutes for a better future."
Mr. Naveen Jain, IAS, Secretary Skills, Employment and Entrepreneurship, Government of
Rajasthan says, "The scenario of ITI education needs to change. Modernization in ITI is heavily
required, as it will help future industries improve to new levels and will also help creating more
jobs. In my opinion, students in ITI should not stick to playing with pullis (machines) and motors,
they should expand their reach to other mediums and fields. Students should keep innovating
and think of new ideas so that they get good exposure in the industry. I also believe that apart
from traditional studies, skill studies are also required so that students get better chances in the
future."
Founded by Dr. Rajendra Joshi, BSDU is the pioneer in skill development. He believes that
perfected skills by the population of any country would lead to excellence and socio-economic
development. BSDU works on a unique concept of building dual system of skills education
(Swiss Dual System) where major focus is on customized practical industrial training along with
theoretical knowledge.
