It aims to build skilled professionals to meet the growing demand in these fields and support the country’s goals of sustainable growth and energy security.
At the launch event, Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Education, Jayant Chaudhary, said universities are not just institutions of learning but are dynamic bridges that connect young minds to the ever-evolving demands of the real world. “By imparting both technical expertise and liberal knowledge, they empower students to think critically, innovate boldly, and adapt effectively. In this journey of youth development, Gujarat has emerged as a trailblazer, playing a pivotal role in transforming its educational landscape.”
