Telangana Targets 100 GCCs, Urges Industry to Enter Classrooms
A part of India called Telangana wants companies to open 100 special offices called global capability centres.
These centres do important work in technology, engineering, finance and research.
A leader in Telangana, named D. Sridhar Babu, announced this plan at a big event.
He wants companies to help schools and colleges teach students.
He said classrooms and workplaces should not be two separate worlds.
Every year, more than two lakh students graduate in Telangana.
But companies say these students need practical skills, not just degrees.
To fix this, the government is upgrading 65 training institutes into advanced technology centres.
A new university, the Young India Skills University, will also teach job skills with help from business leaders.
This way, students can find good jobs and help the state grow.
Telangana is targeting the establishment of 100 global capability centres (GCCs) this year, said IT & Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu.
He announced the goal at the Future Skills Summit & Awards held at T-Works in Hyderabad.
Sridhar Babu urged industry leaders to enter classrooms by designing curricula, offering internships and mentoring students through live projects.
He noted Telangana produces over two lakh graduates annually, but industry demands practical skills and adaptability.
The government is upgrading 65 government ITIs into advanced technology centres with support from Tata Sons and promoting the Young India Skills University.
