SVSU to offer B.Tech for Operating Engineers of ANAND Group

Shri Vishwakarma Skill University is all set to offer B.Tech for Operating Engineers of ANAND Group. The new model is part of a path-breaking industry-academia-government programme. 

ANAND Group signed a MoU late last week with Shri Vishwakarma Skill University (SVSU), Haryana to allow its operating engineers to pursue a B. Tech in Mechanical and Smart Manufacturing to support their careers within the industry and beyond.

The programme will help the Group’s working professionals continue higher education through application-based learning under the ‘Earn-while-Learn Dual Education’ model. The three-year course is an All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) approved programme and supported by the Government of Haryana. The initiative is titled H.O.P.E or Higher Education for Operating Engineers.

Speaking at the function, the Vice Chancellor of SVSU, Dr. Raj Nehru, said: “India must expand its skilling initiatives and strengthen its knowledge base to be rightly perceived as a developed nation,” adding: “This will be the first time that employees, along with accomplishing their daily tasks, will simultaneously be studying for their B. Tech degrees.”

Also speaking on the occasion was ANAND Group President & Co-Chief Operating Officer, Mahendra Goyal, who stated: “H.O.P.E. is an initiative that will empower our existing employees to explore upskilling opportunities while on the job…current employees, who are diploma holders, will be given the opportunity to upgrade their skills and pursue B. Tech through a lateral entry."

"Historical initiative of SVSU, B.Tech degree will be given to working professionals. MoU signed between SVSU and Anand Group, 30 employees will study http://B.Tech along with job," reads a tweet by SVSU.
