Arunachal min pushes for modern teaching methods

Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh skill development & entrepreneurship minister Nyato Dukam on Monday emphasised the need to modernise teaching methods and pedagogy to align with industry demands, particularly for trainees at the state's industrial training institutes (ITIs).
Inaugurating a five-day training of trainers (ToT) in pedagogy on Monday, Dukam spoke on the growing need for skills in emerging technologies and reiterated the govt's commitment to building a strong skilling ecosystem. He also stressed the importance of promoting entrepreneurship and employment generation, an official statement said here.
Dukam praised the Kolkata-based Central Staff Training and Research Institute (CSTARI) and the National Skill Training Institute (NSTI) at Howrah for their role in providing relevant training that enhances the employability of ITI instructors, contributing to Arunachal Pradesh's economic growth.
He urged ITI instructors to encourage trainees to explore self-employment opportunities in their respective trades rather than relying solely on govt jobs.
The minister also expressed his desire for trainers to gain exposure in different states and implement those learnings in Arunachal Pradesh. He said the state govt's initiative was a step in the right direction towards creating a larger learner ecosystem.
Skill development & entrepreneurship commissioner Saugat Biswas underscored CSTARI's pivotal role in transforming traditional skilling techniques into modern methods. He said CSTARI's advanced training programmes and state-of-the-art facilities equip instructors to meet industry demands effectively.
