At the Campus to Career Summit organised by the Higher Education Department at The Lalit Ashok, Bengaluru, I highlighted Karnatakaโs commitment to building future-ready universities and colleges that connect education with employment.
Karnatakaโs growth story is built on decades of investment in education, institution-building and human capital. With a GSDP of โน30.7 lakh crore, record services exports, 875 Global Capability Centres in Bengaluru, and the highest higher-education reach in the country with 66 colleges per lakh population, our state has shown that education is the foundation of economic progress.
But access alone is not enough. A degree must lead to skills, confidence, employment, entrepreneurship and dignified livelihoods. Through initiatives like Yuva Nidhi, industry-linked internships, modern skill training, and our Industrial Policy targeting 20 lakh jobs, we are bridging the gap between campus and career.
The proposed โน40,000 crore KWIN City will further strengthen Karnatakaโs future-ready economy by bringing together knowledge, wellness, innovation and opportunities near Bengaluru.
Our goal is clear: universities, industries and government must work together so that every student is prepared for the real world, every institution is future-ready, and every graduate of Karnataka has a meaningful career pathway.
I congratulate all stakeholders and wish the Campus to Career Programme great success.
