Dateline Dehradun: In a significant step towards fostering leadership, entrepreneurship, and youth-led innovations, Swami Rama Himalayan University (SRHU) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Young Indians (Yi), a dynamic movement under the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
This collaboration aims to empower the next generation of changemakers and shape India’s future by providing a robust platform for students to engage with industry mentors, participate in live projects, and undertake internships.
CII-Yi is one of the founders of the G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance (G20 YEA), which is a collective of leading, entrepreneurially minded organizations, also associated with Commonwealth Alliance of Young Entrepreneurs Asia. Yi also organises international missions with an objective of providing global exposure to its members in various fields. It also conducts several workshops on skill building that are designed to raise awareness about the importance of skilling. Yi works exclusively on three fundamental areas of youth Leadership, Nation building and Thought leadership.
The partnership aims to enhance the entrepreneurial skills of SRHU students by providing them with the opportunity to learn under the expert supervision of industry mentors in a conducive learning environment. This initiative will support the students’ holistic development, as interactions with industry mentors will guide them to become future thought leaders. As such, they will be able to drive both economic growth and social change, contributing to the creation of a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem. This, in turn, is expected to inspire youth to lead India into its next decade of growth.
