Addressing in a virtual meeting held with higher officials and principals of polytechnics, first-grade colleges and engineering colleges, he said, "The new portal would serve as a platform to resolve many issues including pension, promotion, placement, transfer outside of courts."
Saying that effective implementation of NEP lies on the shoulders of principals, he added that students should be encouraged to make use of the open electives option. The open elective option has been introduced with the intention of increasing the skill sets of students and thereby increasing their employability, he explained.
Narayan also instructed the officials to ensure the enrollment of final-year students and recently passed-out students on the 'Skill Connect portal'. Getting enrolled in this portal would make the students aware of the job opportunities and the skills expected by the industries, he remarked.
