It is in abundance. As academicians we need to nurture and encourage them to develop themselves beyond the curriculum in order to be equipped to take on the world. Learning should not be confined to classrooms. This competition, the first of its kind in Uttar Pradesh, was a part of our ongoing skill development initiatives and going by the colossal response, the event has received; we are contemplating making this an annual affair.” Sharing similar sentiments Dr. Jitendra K Das, Director FORE School of Management, Delhi, said “India is in a growth path and is going to be super power in the next decade irrespective of the Government’s role. To counter this, our talent force need holistic growth and all round skill sets. Patronizing such student’s development activities should be seen as a social responsibility. At FORE we take pride to associate with similar skill development and talent hunt activities.” The initial round of the contest was conducted earlier across the state and 463 teams were selected and grouped in clusters while progressive screening was conducted till 10 teams made it to the grand finale.
