Imphal, May 08 2017:
A one day regional seminar cum workshop under the theme 'Sustainable Skill Develop-ment in Higher Education: Problems and Prospect' was organised at DM College of Science under the aegis of Dhanamanjuri Community College today.
Education Minister Th Radheshyam Singh, UGC (NERO) Guwahati, Joint Secretary Dr Mohd Arif and DM College Science Principal Dr P Ranabir Singh attended the event as the chief guest, guest of honour and president respectively.
Speaking at the event, Th Radheshyam said that apart from knowledge, one needs skills if he or she desires to be successful in life and contribute to the society.
He pointed out that an individual's skill is also becoming a necessity apart from his or her education, in order to have a secure future.
He said that the problem of unemployment can be solved only when people who participate in such training programmes learn to use the acquired skills in the right areas.
Stressing the need for time management skills, the Education Minister further said that one would not be able to contribute anything to the society by being lethargic after taking part in skill development programmes.
