Speaking on the occasion, Chandrasekhar maintained that there is no deficit of talent in the country but increased demand for talented & skilled Indians across the globe. “Skilling should not be just about equipping the youth with employable skills but should act as gateways to employability and employment— as their passports to prosperity. The more employment-oriented skill is, the more aspirational it will be for the students and young Indians. It is the vision of Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi that digital opportunities should be equitably available to every Indian and effort should be taken up not just with premier educational institutions but also with universities and institutes in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities,” he added.
Ken Kang, president, and CEO of Samsung Southwest Asia, commented, “Samsung has been in India for over 26 years now and is a committed partner in its growth story. We are aligned with the government’s vision, and through Samsung Innovation Campus, want to empower the youth and create opportunities in future tech domains, giving a further boost to India’s growth story.”
