Pune Skills - moulding and deployment - were highlighted by IAS officer T C Benjamin as being key ingredients of education in the current day and age.
Benjamin was speaking as chief guest at a two-day inter-collegiate fest, Impulse -19, held at Christ College, Pune, on September 17-18.
“Education should be utilised to mould the skills and a strategic deployment of skills with knowledge helps students to achieve greater heights in their future career prospects,” said Benjamin as he appreciated the college’s efforts and students for “expressions of creativity”.
Dr Fr Sony Chundattu, director of Christ College, in his address, expressed delight at exploring new teaching experiences and thus “moulding a future generation who can confront challenges of the competitive, complex world”.
