Chairman Message

"Literacy in itself is no education. Literacy is not the end of education or even the beginning. By education I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in the child and man-body, mind and spirit"

I have great pleasure to know that the IT education the entire world economy has gone through the most challenging period of its time, some of the strongest economies in the world. India has also not been untouched by this but at an cumulative level our country has displayed commendable resilience to it. The more-than-a-billion population of India calls for a vast education system, which has observed a high growth rate. This growth rate has become more rapid recently with globalisation and entry of a number of global organizations in corporate and education sector in particular IT education.

The recent initiatives and high-level discussion among the bureaucratic circles and industry chambers to bring changes in the education sector have brought hopes of a new thrust in strengthening India as position as a global knowledge hub. However, the Governments expenditure pattern indicates that a rapid scaling-up of infrastructure for higher education will not be within reach in the near future. Considering that the Planning Commission has identified a resource gap of INR 2.2 trillion, it seems unlikely that the Government alone will be able to meet optimum infrastructure requirements.

Owing to constrained investment, the sector is unable to cope with growing market demand and global competition. Increased private investment is thus imperative to expand infrastructure and provide greater access to quality higher education in India.

Gone are the days when educational institutes were started with the sole aim of knowledge dissemination. The future belongs to educationists who believe in knowledge creation through high quality research and development. For this the institutes will have a strong focus on providing world-class ambience and infrastructure in which intellectual capital will thrive and bloom..This clearly indicates that more and more parents now prefer to spend substantially higher amounts in their quest for better quality of education for their children., which was involved in providing the technical and other support services to the vocational institution and any others institution.

I express my sincere appreciation for the invaluable contribution and co-operation of all good wisher involved with the growth of the global education specially IT sector. I would also like to thank all my colleagues on the governing body.
