Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia Wednesday said there was a need to impart education to the youth as per industry demands and stressed on formation of an education ministry in the country.

Speaking at the Delhi Education Summit organised by ASSOCHAM, Sisodia said there has been a gap between industry requirements and the goals of education.

“It is good that education is being discussed but it should also be decided as to what we want from the education. We do not even have a dedicated Union ministry for education as the work being undertaken in the education sector is being taken care of by the Ministry of Human Resource Development,” he said.

He added, “We have to make a list of the industry requirements so that our institutes could be prepared…”
