Description

One of the key findings / action points of the MCF-FISME Study on Quadrupling Meerut GDP was to promote Vocational Training / Skill Development Initiatives aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of the local workforce, contributing to economic growth.

At the inaugural Steering Committee Meeting for 'Quadrupling GDP of Meerut' held on 30 December 2023, it was felt that awareness regarding vocational training needs to be built up from Secondary School Level itself. This is also in line with NEP-2020.  Accordingly, it was decided to organize a "Skill Mela" at district level to be preceded by few pilot projects in 3-4 schools to spread awareness of various skills / vocations and future prospects. 

As the first pilot project, MCF along with Kanohar Lal Trust Society & Meerut Institute of Technology successfully organized a “Career Mela” at KK Inter College, Delhi Road, Meerut on 11-12 May 2024 with an aim to provide valuable information to the students about various skills and opportunities.  Approx 1200 students of KK Inter College and nearby colleges along with their parents visited the Mela. The first day was inaugurated by Shri Rajendra Agrawal, Hon’ble MP Meerut and many eminent people like Chairman of Cooperative Bank, UP Shri Yashveer Singh were present. On the second day, the Career Mela was inaugurated by Shri Amit Agarwal, MLA Meerut Cantt.
