Today, 40,000 students are taking up training in skill development of which 22,000 are girls. Hence all youngsters should realise the potential and power of skill development and jobs that knock at their doors. Through ‘Skill Sakhis’ the Maharashtra Government is working towards women empowerment.

Maharashtra has taken the lead in MudraYojna where loan up to Rs 10 lakh can be availed without any guarantee. Therefore, Mudra scheme in tie-up with skill development has a potential to make every individual a self-reliant entrepreneur.

The traditional image of a teacher, standing in front a blackboard, and disciplining and lecturing a class of 40-50 students, won’t ring true in coming years.It is imperative for every teacher to take on the role of a mentor (rather than a disciplinarian) who encourages her students to leverage technology in their journey of knowledge discovery – and do this with same nurturing guidance as they always have.
