Manish Sisodia encouraged the students to be job providers and not job seekers

Speaking at the fifth convocation of the Delhi Technological University, Manish Sisodia encouraged the students to be job providers instead of job seekers. During the convocation, a total of 2099 degrees were conferred including 2 chancellor medals and 43 vice-chancellor medals. “The nation expects you to be job providers, that’s the greatest need of the country today,” Sisodia said, as he addressed the students. He stressed that top education providers of the nations such as IITs and DTU should strive to encourage the spirit of entrepreneurship among the students so that they can provide jobs instead of seeking them. Yogesh Singh, DTU’s vice-chancellor, urged the students to remember their duties towards the nation and refrain from indulging in activities which are not in favor of the nation. Earlier, this week students who enrolled in DTU’s B.Tech evening shift course demanded that the course be converted to full-time. They alleged that they were not informed about the part-time nature of the course and they took admission thinking it as a full-time curriculum. An official from the university said “the evening shift course was earlier open to only diploma holders and candidates having work experience. It has been running for the last 40 years. However, the norms were changed in 2017 after it was found that some candidates were furnishing fake work experience certificates or false documents.” Students said that they discovered the part-time nature of the course only after filing a couple of RTIs. A response to an RTI filed in June claimed the course to be full-time but when they filed another RTI in September, the university claimed the course to be a four-year part-time course. During the event, the Chancellor of DTU, Anil Baijal, emphasized n preparing individuals for social issues such as healthcare, environment, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. “Your mind is a powerhouse of energy and unrealized potential. With your skills, knowledge and creative energies, you must offer a part of your life for changing other lives. If each one of you is able to bring a positive change in one person’s life, imagine the high surge of overall accomplishment that you shall bring to yourself, your family members, friends and your university,” he said. He also asked the university to keep updating its syllabus so that demands of the highly-competitive industries can be met.
