During the special press breafings for highlighting the importance of skill based education and training in all countries of the world and for vocationalising the existing careers of the young boys and girls, the President and Plenipotentiary of the Confederation of Indian Universities (CIU), Chancellor Dr. Priya Ranjan Trivedi announced the official hosting of the Skill and Vocational Education (SAVE) Summit under the joint auspices of the National Institute of Cleanliness Education and Research (NICER) and the Indian Institute of Ecology and Environment (IIEE) under the expert guidance from the Confederation of Indian Universities (CIU).
Giving further details of the Skill and Vocational Education (SAVE) Summit, Dr. Trivedi added that the Summit to be held at 9 am on 12 March 2017 in the Auditorium of India International Centre, 40 Lodi Estate, New Delhi will mainly stress upon locating environment friendly and sustainable jobs in the specialised areas related to cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation, garbage management, recycling, renewable energy resources development besides brain storming discussion on employment generation through entrepreneurship development by developing a neological and neocratic approach with a view to producing more number of job givers rather than job seekers in all parts of the world.
Dr. Trivedi further added that more than 50 Universities from India have been selected and shortlisted for getting the appropriate technologies transferred from the Afro-Asian Centre for Transfer of Technology and the Confederation of Indian Universities (CIU) through the good offices of the National Institute of Cleanliness, Hygiene and Sanitation Education (NICER), New Delhi.
Under this scheme a Memorandum of Understanding / Agreement will be signed with the respective universities for joint implementation of eco-friendly practices and technologies including eco-philosophy, eco-dharma, eco-ethics, eco-metaphysics, eco-culture, eco-wisdom, eco-technology, eco-mind, eco-justice, eco-development, eco-feminism, eco-politics besides cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation, water quality monitoring and surveillance, disaster management, sustainable development, peace studies, conflict resolution, drugless therapies etc., Dr. Trivedi further explained.
Discussing the role of the State Governments for ensuring the success of the Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan announced by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi more than two years ago, Dr. Trivedi observed that all the State Governments in India are being contacted and informed regarding the special package being offered in the year 2017 for funding of such projects after the respective State Governments pass separate legislations in support of the establishment of institutions for taking care of cleanliness education and research in the country and for mass absorption of the successful graduates and post graduates for enabling them to organize and implement programmes having social, cultural, educational, scientific, technological, environmental, economic and positive contents for optimizing the available resources of all countries in general and of India in particular.
Dr. Trivedi also assured to the State Government that no funding will be asked from the State Governments, rather the entire funding will be organized from external sources and from the CSR support activities from the leading public and private sector organizations besides independent funding agencies.
Endorsing the statements, the Director of the National Institute of Cleanliness Education and Research (NICER) Dr. Utkarsh Sharma said that all the schools, colleges and universities will be associated for this noble cause of maintaining cleanliness everywhere including the launching of action oriented programmes for cleaning up the temples, mosques, gurudwaras, monasteries, churches, ponds, rivers, mountains, parks and other public places. He also added that the Certificate, Diploma, Post Graduate Diploma, Master’s and Doctoral Degree Programmes launched in association with the selected university level institutions will go a long way in preparing a competent cadre of young professionals for Cleaning Up The Earth (CUTE) in general and India in particular.
