The curriculum from std. 10th onward should be more project, field study, internship oriented and should be built in collaboration with industry/society. There should be National Student wing (e.g. National Cadet Course) for every segment/industry e.g. Medical, engineering, education, social welfare, economy etc. NGOs, Govt Agencies, Industry should involve those students in Researches, studies, implementation etc. Industries should adopt institutions/students/region and Govt should reward them

All institutes of higher learning should collaborate with one or two industry and one dedicated centre for inter departmental and industry to be open in each university. Govt project and industry project should be given to the university to come up with solutions. One centre of collaboration should be developed by PPP model in each university.

Faculty specializing in entrepreneurship should be appointed; successful entrepreneurs could also be called as supplementary faculty.

Also the scope of entrepreneurship education should extend to imparting entrepreneurship skills through practical exposure to entrepreneurial activities like small scale enterprise projects. We can start Online small business project to the college student, once they know the benefits of technology, they become effective and efficient, on the other hand government should tie up with the university to give direct benefits like money, resource to the aspirant.

I think that Entrepreneurship education should be introduced as a compulsory subject in school education (primary, secondary, higher secondary) and higher education. It should be introduced in primary classes to create mindsets.

Colleges have to be attached with industries,NGO, social and govt.organization so that the students should grasp the latest and applied knowledge and know the burning problems before the society !

After about 33 years in Automation Industry, in the last 10 years, I have done quite a bit in bridging the gap between industry and academia and still continuing the same. This has produced some good results. If any body is interested, kindly contact me on the contact particulars given in the attachment.

To link education to employ-ability, The students in higher education and those opting for educations shall be given a brief inputs on the type of the industry, profession they are planning to get engaged in. Few training from industry trainers or corporate trainers of particular industry, The future of that particular industry and similar profession would help her/him in choosing the right path for career and the result would be a right developed person instead of a misguided one.

There should be more focus on the development of communication skills of the students.Seminars,presentations should be conducted regularly.Each and every student should be encouraged to speak in every event.Interesting themes should be given for presentations.Adequate training should be provided to excel in the written tests which are conducted by companies And mock interviews frequently conducted.The basics of Maths and all other subjects should and revised more often at higher level.

Continuation to my previous comments: Industry in US warmly welcomes and respects the students who have exposure to work in research/collegiate competition; which is contradictory and discouraging sometimes when it comes to Industry in India. I have personal experience where I have seen number of times that companies specifically mention in job description that they do not consider University level research/project work as experience. Mindsets of Hiring Managers in India also need to be changed!
