Key points highlighted by Honorable Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath during his speech at the event were -
Stressed on curriculum mapping to meet job requirements
Stressed on learning different languages along with market aligned curriculum so that youth can have better value in the job market
Urged that new courses should be taught to meet current & evolving needs
Huge investments have been committed by corporates for UP. Youth in UP should get jobs in these projects. He also is asking industry to share their curriculums / exact needs so that aligned curriculum can be designed and taught to the youth through UPSDM etc.
