Training

Dr. P. Krishnakumar, CEO & Secretary, Nehru Group of Institutions emphasized on the future progress on Nehru Group of Institution

“We strongly believe in molding true citizens, which means not only giving an opportunity to complete graduation but also upskilling their abilities to meet industry requirements.” Said Dr. P. Krishnakumar Could you tell us more about your group of institutions? We have completed our 50 years of existence, starting in 1968 in Coimbatore. We have a presence in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala with over 24 institutions, ranging from schools to a medical college. How do you ensure sustainability in education within your diverse group of institutions? We strongly believe in molding true citizens, which means not only giving an opportunity to complete graduation but also upskilling their abilities to meet industry requirements. We emphasize training and employability. For example, we have Technology Business Incubation (TBI) funded by DST (central government) to create startups, and we also have the NewGen IEDC initiative, which central government funds up to 2.5 lakhs for students’ projects to help them move from prototype to commercialization. Could you elaborate on the skill development and teacher training programs in your institution? We believe in training our faculty frequently. We have quarterly training sessions where we invite trainers from different industries and academia. We also encourage our faculty to upskill through various online certification programs as we evolve from traditional education to digitalization. Are there any new initiatives in technology within your institution? We are one of the few institutions in Kattur with multiple multiplex theaters on campus. This allows students and teachers developing e-content to see their work in a theater setting, enhancing the learning experience by creating an entertaining yet educational environment. What about global collaborations and exposure to international universities? As an affiliated institution, our ability to collaborate with foreign universities is limited due to state and central government policies. Universities have more freedom to engage in student exchange programs and faculty development programs abroad, but affiliated institutions must follow strict guidelines. What are your thoughts on employment versus employability? Employability is more important because it’s not just about getting a qualification but about ensuring that students are absorbed by the best industries. This is crucial for an educational institution’s survival. Top institutions maintain their status by ensuring high employability for their graduates. We focus on incubation and entrepreneurship, promoting a startup culture that allows students to understand entrepreneurship and take risks while still studying. What does the term ‘New Normal’ mean to you? New Normal means introducing new changes and ways of thinking and executing programs. It involves changing the traditional system to adapt to new methods and ideas, reflecting a fresh approach to education and leadership. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group? ArdorComm Media is doing an excellent job of connecting educational institutions and stakeholders. Networking and sharing knowledge are crucial in today’s world. Your role in connecting people from different age groups, experiences, and industries is invaluable. I’ve had the opportunity to meet many people from top institutions today, which is beneficial for information and networking. This positively impacts the education sector and brings about new changes. Keep up the good work. Any final thoughts? Thank you so much for inviting me to this event. It was impressive talking with you, and I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this forum. Thank you.

UK’s NHS Recruits 2,000 Doctors from India to Address Medical Workforce Shortage

The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) has embarked on an initiative to recruit 2,000 doctors from India. Under this fast-track program, doctors will undergo postgraduate training in India before being deployed to hospitals in the UK. The initiative aims to tackle the NHS’s longstanding struggle with medical workforce shortages, exacerbated by factors such as low wages, expensive training, and burnout due to heavy workloads. Brexit has further complicated the issue, leading to increased reliance on overseas-trained doctors. Notably, the recruited doctors will be exempted from the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) examination, typically mandatory for practicing in the UK, upon completion of their training program. However, concerns have been raised regarding the potential impact on India’s healthcare system, with fears of brain drain and the loss of skilled professionals. While some experts view this initiative as a valuable opportunity for Indian doctors to gain international experience, others emphasize the importance of offering ample opportunities and fair compensation to locally trained doctors in India. Additionally, the lack of widespread awareness about the initiative among the medical community in India highlights the need for better promotion and communication efforts. Ultimately, the initiative represents a significant stride towards global healthcare collaboration, with the potential to enhance healthcare standards and foster a mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and expertise between India and the UK. Key Points: The NHS plans to recruit 2,000 doctors from India to address medical workforce shortages. Recruited doctors will undergo six- to twelve-month postgraduate training in India before deployment to UK hospitals. Exemption from the PLAB examination will be granted upon completion of the training program. Concerns have been raised about potential brain drain and the impact on India’s healthcare system. Improved awareness and promotion efforts are needed to ensure the success of the initiative. The initiative signifies a step towards global healthcare collaboration and knowledge exchange. Currently, 25-30% of the NHS’ medical workforce consists of doctors trained overseas.
