Counsel India and Medhavi Skill University have launched Pragati 2024, a collaborative approach that aims to shape the future of skill development. The event was held at the Hotel Holiday Inn and witnessed the number of guests and industry leaders, as per the press release.
“The collective efforts of over 350 dedicated individuals within Counsel India, turning challenges into opportunities and delivering exemplary services since past seven years of expertise have resulted in forming a community of 150,000 learners across various countries, transforming the organisation’s vision into reality through practical knowledge,” Shivam Dixit, co-founder, CEO, Counsel India, said.
Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of the National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC) and managing director of NSDC International, emphasised the imperative shift towards skill development in education. Congratulating MSU and Counsel India on their partnership, he underscored the need for education to align with the dynamic changes in workplaces, as outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Mr. Tiwari highlighted a pivotal projection from an NSDC study, indicating that by 2047, every fourth global workplace participant will be from India during the transformative ‘Amrit kaal’ period. This aligns to significantly contribute to global national productivity. With 45% of global participants now in India, Mr. Tiwari stressed the crucial role of counsellors in guiding students to recognize and refine their skills for both local and global opportunities.
“In launching this model, our collaboration with industry giants such as Aditya Birla, Apollo, ITC, Crowne Plaza, TATA, and more has been crucial. We commend Counsel India for its dedicated work in guiding, counselling, and psychology within this sector. Their structured approach stands out in contributing to national building, transcending the scale of institutions. Over the 11-year journey of Medhavi, we’ve been fortunate to have mentors, and we express gratitude for their guidance and support,” Kuldip Sarma, co-founder, pro-chancellor, MSU, said.
