PM Modi to inaugurate Shri Vishwakarma Skill University

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the varsity once its construction work is complete. The government has adopted Industry integrated dual education model (IIDEM) for the varsity programmes in vocational studies in line with the German dual model vocation education pedagogy.

Talking about the completion of SVS construction work, the varsity’s vice-chancellor Raj Kumar Nehru said, “Eighty percent work of the India's first skill university has been completed. The prime minister will be inaugurating it.”

The vice-chancellor, who was here to inaugurate a regional counselling centre, said the work on the university is going on at a fast pace to ensure timely completion of the first phase of the INR 425-crore project.

He further informed that SVS was established as a public university by the government of Haryana in 2016. Currently, the university at Dudhola village of Palwal district is running from a temporary campus in Gurugram. It has MoUs with several industries and entities to impart skills training, he said.

"This education model facilitates 'earn-while-learn' and provides the students with the opportunity to enhance their qualification with the flexibility of entry and exit into a programme,” Nehru said.

The university offers programmes in the area of automotive, robotics and automation, electronics, public services, healthcare, agriculture, analytics, entrepreneurship, banking and finance, management at diploma, graduate and postgraduate.
