Only 1 in 3 women participates in South Asia’s workforce, one of the lowest rates globally.
Expanding access to finance, childcare, and leadership opportunities could unlock entrepreneurship and create local jobs for women. https://t.co/fXAsF0URSd
It was an absolute pleasure to deliver the plenary address at the 18th Foundation Day of the Islamic University of Science and Technology @iustjk where Lieutenant Governor of Jammu & Kashmir, Shri @manojsinha_ Ji graced the occasion and spoke about the tremendous change visible in the Union Territory in the last few years.
Apart from the beautiful location of the university, carefully nested in the lap of the mountain, I was particularly impressed by the warmth and enthusiasm of the students and the professors. I would like to thank Vice Chancellor of IUST, Prof. Shakil Ahmad Romshoo - @shakilrom - for the incredible hospitality and for hosting me for such an important occassion.
The combination of historical resilience and contemporary initiatives have created a fertile ground where ideas can blossom, and innovation can take center stage. Hon. LG Manoj Sinha Spoke straight from the heart in a truly inspirational speech where he defined education as a journey of self and beyond a journey of inner self. He spoke about the notable contributions of Mahatma Gandhi, Ramanujan and Kabir Das where the quest for truth and learning defined their life.
It is amazing to see the kind of change his tenure has brought to the valley. The increased focus on academic output, research and industrial development is awe-inspiring. It's in that light the academia-industry collaboration becomes so important. Localized policy initiatives and frameworks to drive those policies will be needed to drive any kind of sustained efforts and achieve positive outcomes. Banking on my love for and understanding of the valley, I came up with the CHINAR framework to guide such beneficial partnerships.
The #ChinarFramework, named after the glorious native tree, has been devised to lead and sustain the industry-academia partnership in the valley.
CHINAR - A resolute way forward
C: Collaborative Curriculum Design
H: Holistic Industry-Academia Collaboration
I: Incubation and Innovation Centers
N: Networking and Knowledge Exchange Platforms
A: Applied Research Initiatives
R: Resource Sharing and Recognition
What is this framework about? Why academia-industry partnerships matter? The way forward for Kashmir?
I write for @ET_Government

@Ak6ty9 "The loudest cries for war came from those who were farthest from the battleground" - you in one sentence.
I am not venting. I am trying to start a dialogue with those who have already posted. And then some butthurt trolls show up, screaming war from their bedrooms.
@anjubharatrawat @poojahothur @AskAnshul That's what our seasoned and experienced military commanders and our chosen politicians are discussing right now. If they want to declare war, we will support them (although we wish they don't) but we should not be the ones doing it as it is disrespectful to them
