ASSOCHAM organised its 16th International Education Leadership and Skill Development Summit 2023. Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, President of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), was the guest of honour. He said since education and skill development go hand in hand, private universities need to be quality-oriented in terms of studying values. It will result in individuals with the appropriate values and abilities for future youth. 

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which demanded extensive sectoral change and a structural makeover, became a watershed moment for the Indian educational system. The policy advocated life skills in the curriculum because it was of the opinion that education needed to go beyond academic results to concentrate on the overall development of our future generations. 
Prof Pankaj Mittal, Secretary General of the Association of Indian Universities, stressed the necessity for curricular modifications and transformative education. He said these changes must consider students' goals in the Indian society. 

Prof Ashutosh Sharma, President, Indian National Science Academy, focused on the relation between industry and education and how education is largely determined by industrial needs. Kunwar Shekhar Vijendra, Chairman, ASSOCHAM National Council on Education, said as technology is changing it is essential that education and skill development aligns with future requirement of jobs. Ethics are values that play an important role for life skills for a country like India. Reskilling, Upskilling and multi skilling are important factors to change the education system.
