The session started with Prof Dr Uday Salunkhe defining
education as something one remembers after one have
forgotten what one has memorized. He also spoke on the
emerging economy where the focus has shifted to speed,
imagination, innovation, design and heterogeneity in the
workforce. “It is what we deliver in our classrooms today
that would decide what society we are going to live in, in
the days to come. The future has its seeds in the
education given today,” added Uday Salunkhe.

Sharing his thoughts with the audience, Mr. Dileep
Ranjekar said, “Education alone can bring about the much
needed social change; it is a very effective tool for the
same.” Expressing his concern over the state of education
in India and lack of awareness of government policies
among educators, he listed inequity, injustice, carelessness
at human and environmental level as the three major
threats faced by the society.

Anand Sudarsha, CEO of Manipal Education, shared a
shocking fact expressing his concern on the skill-front,
“Around 93 percent of workforce in any given organization
is not adequately skilled or trained for their jobs; they need
some sort of repair'. There can be socio-economic reasons
for taking up jobs at an early stage in life, without being
suitably trained in the relevant skills.” He also spoke of
India’s strengths like its huge reservoir of entrepreneurial
talent complemented with high aspirational quotient.

Director of IIM Bangalore, Dr Pankaj Chandra, described
India as the only researchers’ paradise in the world due
to the dynamicity of the Indian society. “The biggest
challenge in the context is the dwindling number of
academicians. We should look for individuals who are
good thinkers, researchers and teachers when taking
people onboard,” he stated.

8. The speakers agreed that the vast pool of human
resources can be turned to our advantage with adequate
policy reforms, spreading awareness of government
policies and adequate changes in curriculum and evaluation
practices. “This approach will help position India as one of
the leading suppliers of talented and skilled workforce,”
concluded Dr. Uday Salunkhe.
