New Delhi: Union Minister for Education and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan had a fruitful discussion with Australian minister for Minister for Skill & Training Brendan O’Connor here on Thursday.
Pradhan appreciated the way Australia has managed its natural resources like minerals, and built the capacity of its people and said that the two countries should explore ways to replicate such processes in India and train the youth for emerging job roles.
India’s Education minister suggested that areas like agricultural technology, mining, water management, renewable energy and emerging technology like AI and robotics could be explored extensively.
Pradhan emphasised that this is the best moment for India-Australia engagement, referring to the agreement on Mutual Recognition of Qualification signed by the two countries earlier this year.
Its implementation will facilitate two-way mobility of students and skilled persons between the two countries, the minister remarked.
Pradhan invited O’Connor to the 7th meeting of Australia-India Education and Skills Council to be held at Gandhinagar in September.
The Australian minister also spoke about deepening the collaboration between the two countries.
He stressed that restoration of student mobility is a priority for his country and they are working to make their visa process more efficient.
