The document summarizes the Mission10X initiative in India, which aims to enhance engineering graduates' employability skills. It discusses conducting a survey that found many graduates lack key skills and competencies. This led to launching Mission10X to empower 10,000 faculty through workshops to improve teaching methodology and build students' behavioral skills. The initiative has reached many states and formed strategic partnerships. It aims to reduce the gap between industry and engineering colleges through a unified learning kit.

14. Unified Learning Kit
• Unified Learning Kit (ULK) has potential to
– significantly reduce the gap between industry’s current
applications and engineering college laboratories
– Integrate the individual subject learning
– Support students build up and integrate concepts in to products
during their study of Engineering using ULK
– Facilitate Entrepreneurship and Research within the country
