Web Developer Course

Convener: Dr Pooja Bhagat
Resource Person: Ram Kumar Singh

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has recommended incorporation of vocational skills into School and Higher Education curriculums so that students can design their own paths of study and life plans. To mainstream vocational education, sharing of infrastructure and developing well-defined pathways for students to continue with their chosen academic-vocational pursuits, an initiative for creation of Skill Hubs across the education and skill ecosystem has been proposed to actualize the intent on the ground.

The ‘Skill Hub Initiative’ under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 3.0 (PMKVY 3.0) scheme focuses on the introduction of skill training programs in the education ecosystems. Skill Hubs are nodal skill centers identified to provide skill development and vocational training opportunities to target population segments from school dropouts and out-of-education candidates.

Acharya Narendra Dev Kaushal Kendra, Skill Hub @ ANDC is selected as a Training Provider for Web Developer Course. One batch of 19 students had completed the course in 2022.
