US alumni announce 50L grant for MSU's FTE
Vadodara: MSU Vision 2020, an alumni-funded initiative with strong participation from US-based alumni, announced a Rs 50 lakh annual grant for M S University's Faculty of Technology and Engineering (FTE). The announcement was made during a recent alumni meet held in Silicon Valley, which saw participation from alumni across batches of FTE. "Nearly 90 alumni, most of them from the US, participated in the alumni meet," said MSU's in charge vice-chancellor Dhanesh Patel, who virtually addressed the gathering. The grant will be disbursed for the academic year 2025-26 and will be formally released upon the signing of the MoU, which is currently being finalised, he said. The Rs 50 lakh annual grant includes Rs 1,000 per student for all the departments of FTE. "Against every student enrolled in the faculty, Rs 1,000 will be disbursed. This amount will be provided to the head of the respective departments, considering the number of students enrolled in their departments," said Patel. For instance, if there are 400 students in an engineering department, Rs 400,000 will be disbursed to the department for the development of infrastructure or academic programmes. "Similarly, Rs 200 per student will be allocated to address broader faculty-level initiatives. This allocation will be done through the dean's office," said Patel. The grant aims to empower departments and faculty leadership with flexible funding for enhancing infrastructure, academic programmes, and student support initiatives. During the meet, several proposals were shared. "The team of MSU Vision 2020 has invited faculty leaders to submit a brief write-up on such initiatives to explore potential alumni backing and partnerships," added Patel.

Medhavi Skills University organises workshop on education, employability on World Youth Skills Day
Medhavi Skills University (MSU) recently hosted a workshop in Delhi to celebrate World Youth Skills Day. The event, themed "Industry-Led Skill-Based Education: A New Paradigm for Atmanirbhar Bharat," highlighted the importance of reimagining traditional learning frameworks in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 which focuses on on the job learning, skilling and real world challenges. Medhavi Skills University organises workshop on education, employability on World Youth Skills Day As per a press statement issued by the varsity, Pravesh Dudani, Founder & Chancellor, MSU, Kuldip Sarma, Co-Founder & Pro-Chancellor and Devender K Saini, Group Chief Strategy Officer, along with senior deans and academic leaders from MSU attended the workshop and had insightful discussions. The panelists emphasized that education must keep pace with the industry to harness the potential of India's demographic dividend. Curriculum innovation must be agile, dynamic, and industry-relevant to meet the demands of a rapidly shifting technological landscape, they added. The workshop also strongly emphasized on the need for deeper industry-academia collaboration to equip individuals with future-ready skills as over 60% of Indian graduates are not job-ready due to lack of practical training and workplace exposure. While speaking at the event, Pravesh Dudani stated, 'Industry continues to evolve at a fast pace that traditional education struggles to match. While NEP 2020 lays a strong foundation for embedding skills meaningfully, there is now a valuable opportunity to accelerate its implementation and scale its impact through work-integrated education pathways. Over 60% of Indian graduates are not job-ready due to lack of practical training and workplace exposure. Industry integrated, on-the-job learning models present a viable way- enabling learners to gain real-world experience and earn through innovative industry-academia collaborations. This helps industries address critical skill gaps, improve retention, and foster greater productivity through a workforce that is industry-aligned from day one, massively solving the employability crisis."
