The Vice-Chancellor of the Central University of Karnataka M.N. Sudheendra Rao said that the lack of focus, application and passion to excel among the youngsters coming out of universities and centres of higher education were the stumbling blocks for India to emerge as a global superpower.
Speaking at the first ever convocation of students who have successfully completed their technical courses in the Government Tool Room and Training Centres (GTTCs) in the State held at the S.M. Pandit Rangamandir in Kalaburagi on Sunday, Prof. Rao said that India, which has the world’s largest population of 800 million youth in the age group of 15 to 35, has the best chance to emerge as a global super power. Prof. Rao said that the country was passing through a transformation as focus was being given to the development of skills of the youngsters to take on the challenges of the world.
He said for India to emerge as a superpower, every single individual has to contribute and “this is not the job of only technocrats and scientists.” More stress should be given on quality skill development, he said.
For the first time, GTTC is organising a convocation ceremony in the entire State and in this convocation 304 students who emerged successful in their diploma course from centres including Kalaburagi, Dandeli, Hospet, Hubli, Belgaum, Harihar, Kudalasangama, Lingasugur and Humnabad were given the certificates and medals.
