As India leapfrogs from an import reliant a few decades ago in agriculture to becoming self-reliant and then huge strides in the export of value-added products, there will be an enhanced and continuous need for skilled manpower. We seek to fill in this gap by creating a symbiotic relationship with all my partners in various spheres of academics, research, and training across all sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n Agriculture sector ranks second toward contributing to state GDP (SGP). The share of agriculture in total employment has jumped to 39.4% whereas manufacturing has dropped to 7.3%. Unemployment rates in rural and urban areas are estimated to be 1.3% and 6.9%. The unskilled workforce in Agriculture is 85% v\/s the global average of 44%.<\/p>\n This industry-academia partnership will ensure consistent supply of high skilled workforce in the fast emerging agribusiness and agri tech sector in Telangana.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In today’s time, partnerships between industry and academia will be instrumental to advancing research and knowledge and creating a skilled workforce. Collaboration between industry and academia is key to catalyzing innovation and growth in technology. Hence, NMIMS is taking a step ahead to sign MoU and it is attended by top industry members.<\/p>\n Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Akshay Malhotra, Director, Shirpur campus highlighted the faculties at Shirpur campus and also stressed the need to produce more skilled manpower to support India\u2019s growth story.<\/p>\n Established in 1981, NMIMS is today recognized as a globally reputed university with strong industry linkages.
