The University:
The Indira Gandhi National Tribal University, Amarkantak has been established by an Act
of the Parliament of India. It came into existence by the Indira Gandhi National Tribal
University Act, 2007 and came into action on July 2008. The jurisdiction of the University
extends to the whole country and it is fully funded by the Central Government through the
University Grant Commission.
About the Conference cum Workshop:
Youth employability has become a national issue, as the rates of unemployment and
under-employment for 18 to 35 year olds continue to increase. In spite of their education
levels, for many youth finding a job related to their skills remains a challenge. Selfemployment, business start-ups and the development of entrepreneurial skills are
solutions, among many others, enabling young people to find employment.
In light of the present national situation, IGNTU wishes to support the strengthening of
Skill India Initiative. The other purpose to have services offered that are adapted to the
realities of women and youth, which enable them to start up or consolidate micro and small
enterprises or develop self-employment. In addition to business development, for nation,
entrepreneurship also signifies any skills, knowledge and behaviours which facilitate the
creation of economic wealth, jobs and social development in communities.
Entrepreneurship is one of the important aspects of the economy. The concept of
entrepreneurship differs from place to place and person to person. It is therefore,
imperative to have basic understanding of the concept of entrepreneurship. Hence, there is
a need to follow a dynamic and pragmatic approach to motivate and create trained
entrepreneurs at the government as well as at the educational level by a balanced
approach through public-private partnership and a host of other arrangements for the
growth and development of India.
Against this backdrop, this Conference cum Workshop aims at providing a platform to
share the ideas and research results & obtain feedback on this emerging and
contemporary topic in order to explore the best practices and alternatives for the Skill
Acquisition, Entrepreneurship Development and Employment Generation among youths,
students and groups, which in turn leads to the skill development. The other objective of
this occasion is that the scientists, faculties, industrialists and thinkers of various industries
and universities from all over India will be participating so that they may get a common
platform to put up their creativity and innovation to promote and successful implementation
of GOI’s ambitious initiative known as“Skill India Initiatives”.
Who can attend:
Academicians, Economists, Entrepreneurs, Industry Professionals, Practitioners,
Consultants, Students, Research Scholars, Technocrats and Researchers of all
disciplines.
Scope of the Conference cum Workshop:
To strengthen “Industry Academic Interface” so that as per demand of the industry,
we may start skill based courses.
To start skill oriented courses on PPP Model for supply of skilled man-power as per
demand of the mining industries, mineral based industries and steel industries, so
that such industries may function smoothly without any limitation.
To provide employment after proper training to the youth and students of tribal and
rural areas because generally, mining industries are being preferred in tribal and
rural areas. It would help to utilize the youth class of such areas not only to provide
them employment but also to full-fill the demand of skilled men-power to the
industries in future.
To discuss on proper utilization and sustainable development of mines and mineral
based industries.
To discuss on social and local responsibilities of mining industries, steel industries
