onfederation of Indian CIndustry (CII) Jharkhand organised a Session on Build Jharkhand: Focus Skills today in association with UNGC India and Citizens Foundation. The Session deliberated on the increasing role of Skill Development in the overall growth and development of the country as a whole and Jharkhand in particular. The Inaugural Session of the meet was addressed by Kiran DM, Chief Executive Officer, ONGC Foundation; Mathew Joseph, Country Director, American India Foundation; Sourav Roy, Convenor, CII Jharkhand CSR & Skill Development Panel & Chief - Corporate Social Responsibility, Tata Steel Ltd; Sougata Roy Choudhury, Executive Director, Skill Development, Affirmative Action, ASD & Industrial Relations, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Ganesh Reddy, Secretary cum Chief Executive Officer, Citizens Foundation. The session discussed that Jharkhand is one of the richest states in India as far as natur- al resources are concerned. However, the State’s economy is not that thriving one would associate with a State as well- endowed as Jharkhand. There is a need for inten- sifying efforts to achieve devel- opment both in economic and social spheres so that the state can realize its full economic potential. Skill development stands as one of the key pillars of the growth and development of any economy, and hence has emerged as one of the key focus areas of the both Central and State Governments. With more and more pol- icy thrust on the growth of industry, Jharkhand has to make sure that the workforce is ready to embrace the opportu- nities that come their way.   !"!#!#
