    Centre for Development of Employable Skills (CDES)

    In one of his articles, David Orr of Context Institute raised an interesting question about the purpose of education. Quoting Wiesel, he mentioned that education in most institutions “emphasized theories instead of values, concepts rather than human beings, abstraction rather than conscientiousness, answers instead of questions … efficiency rather than conscience.” We believe that good education should provide a balanced mix of inputs that enriches one’s mind and soul. In addition, many of the students passing out of various engineering and management colleges lack depth in soft skills like articulation, communication and emotional resilience. In order to impart a right mix of inputs for emotional balance, personality development, and theoretical and applied managerial skills, a Centre for Development of Employable Skills is set up as a unique facility in the campus. The Center will use proven techniques such as Yoga, Art of Living, Meditation, and personal growth labs for this purpose. Over and above, the CDES would encourage students and faculty too to participate in government sponsored activities like NCC, NSS and self sponsored ones like art, music and games.

    Dr. BV Pattabhi Ram, a psychologist and counselor of international repute will be leading the activities of the Center. The Center’s programmes are open to all the students of the SVVR Educational Society.
