for developing managerial skills among the new generation of
entrepreneurs from the northeast region, officials said.
The ministry of development of north eastern region (DoNER) has
sponsored a programme for developing managerial skills for
entrepreneurship.
"The ministry has sanctioned an amount of Rs.79.15 lakh for this
programme for training 60 youths from the region. The course will deal
with developing managerial skills among the new generation of
entrepreneurs of the region," said an official statement.
The programme, to be conducted by the Rajiv Gandhi Indian Institute of
Management at Shillong, will offer a range of short-term skill
development programmes encompassing the different areas of management,
entrepreneurship, tourism, hospitality, among many others, from this
financial year onwards.
This partnership is a result of the initiative of DoNER Minister and
North East Council chairman B.K. Handique, who has been pursuing the
agenda of involving the premier institutes like the Indian Institutes
of Management (IIMs), Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the
Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) in the process of nurturing
the human resource in the region.
"The ministry has a larger roadmap to continuously train youths from
the region with a focus on increasing their employability. The
institutes like IIM, IIT and TISS are well positioned to cater to the
training needs of the region in addition to their regular courses. We
have requested them to develop such courses and we have been able to
make considerable headway in designing some," the statement said.
Earlier, the DoNER ministry announced a month and half programme in
association with IIT Guwahati to train 30 engineers from Assam
irrigation department in mitigation of river bank erosion. IANS
