Directorate of higher education was established in Uttarakhand in July, 2001. At the time of the
establishment of Directorate there were only 34 government degree colleges. At present, there
are two Universities- Kumaon University and [Link] University for imparting general
higher education. They have 5 university campuses and 113 affiliated degree and post-graduate
colleges (including aided and un-aided colleges). Among these, 71 colleges are affiliated with
Sridev Suman University and 42 colleges with Kumaon University. Besides, the number of selffinanced degree colleges and institutions are constantly increasing which obviously increased the
administrative and supervisory work of the directorate. Moreover, the emphasis on the quality of
higher education led to the increase in the role and function of directorate.

Uttaranchal has been the centre of education from the ancient time. It is believed that the
Kauravas and Pandavas were trained by Guru Dronacharya in the foothills of Himalaya thats
why Dehradun is also known as Drona Nagari. Indias best schools and training institutes are
located in Uttaranchal FRI, IIT Roorkee, IIM Kashipur, Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology,
Indian Institute of Petroleum, Survey of India, Indian Military Academy, Wildlife Institute of
India, L.B.S. National Academy of Administration, Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Doon
School, Sherwood College, Rashtriya Indian Military College, Nehru Institute of
Mountaineeringare a few to name.
A new Central University for Himalayan Technology will be set up in Uttarakhand says Human
Resource Development Minister:- The Union Minister of Human Resource Development, Smt.
Smriti Zubin Irani has said that a new Central University for Himalayan Technology will soon be
set up in Uttarakhand. The Institute will also have international faculty.
Mrs Smriti Irani highlighted the need for a Rashtriya Aavishkar Abhiyaan to make science
interesting for children, system of finding patents and to make parents and communities a part of
the innovation realm. She asked the States to revisit the Right to Education Act in the light of
their experiences. The fragmentation between the Primary, Secondary & Higher Education
should be removed and skill development should start at the school level while continuing upto
the higher levels, she added. Technology will be leveraged for empowering the students and
teachers. For this, the Ministry proposes to launch a large number of Massive Open Online
Courses (MOOC) and also establish a National e-Library by the end of this year.
CAPACITY BUILDING AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
It is widely believed that today personal skills development are more important than academic
and technical skills. For success in travel and tourism business , these skills or attributes, often
called soft skills, are often vital.
The United Nation Development Programme (UNDP) outlines that capacity building takes
place on an individual level, an institutional level and the societal level.

Individual Level- Capacity-building on an individual level requires the development of
conditions that allow individual participants to build and enhance existing knowledge and
skills. It also calls for the establishment of conditions that will allow individuals to
engage in the process of learning and adapting to change
Institutional Level- Capacity building on an institutional level should involve aiding
pre-existing institutions in developing countries. It should not involve creating new
institutions, rather modernizing existing institutions and supporting them in forming
sound policies, oganizational structures, and effective methods of management and
revenue control.
Societal Level- Capacity building at the societal level should support the establishment
of a more interactive public administration that learns equally from its actions and from
feedback it receives from the population of large. Capacity building must be used to
develop public administrators that are responsive and accountable.
Trained human resource is an important component of the tourism infrastructure. With the never
ending need for human resource. Industry is more focusing on skilled manpower. A large number
of tourism service providers in the organized / un-organised sector also require basic training and
certification to provide better service standards and consumer satisfaction. At the same time,
there is an equally important need to further up-skill or build capacities of the service providers
already trained. These trained service providers could be engaged in providing service directly to
the tourist or involved in the important task of teaching, administering or planning. Since human
behavior cannot be standarardised thus to overpower this work force should be such that who has
capacity to work with ethics, skills and common goals. Focusing on North East India there
should be a homogeneous, integrated vision for the service providers in organized as well as
unorganized sectors. Keeping this in mind we have developed Skills development & Skills up
gradation courses for various segments

The Skill Development scenario in Uttarakhand
The Skill Development scenario in Uttarakhand, India is similar to that of the rest of the country.
India's Central government along with the Government of Uttarakhand are focused on improving
the skills of 500 million people by 2022 and are also initiating serious efforts to mobilize
resources in providing skills to its youth. A major part of the problem is improper focus on the
skill development of students, Uttarakhand Skill Development Mission is leading an initiative.
[1]
The state Government alone aims to develop the skills of 650,000 (six hundred and fifty
thousand) youth, and provide them with employment between the years of 2012 and 2017.
Government of Uttarakhand Skill Development Schemes
Alongside National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC)[2] the Government of Uttarakhand
runs various programs for equipping its youth with the skills requisite for success in the
workforce.
Employability Ratio of HE Students and Professionals
The recent India-wise reports suggest that only 10% of MBA holders acquire jobs. Less than
19% of engineers are employable, and only 18% actually land a job [3] and 30% graduates are job
worthy.[4] The given figures are grimmer in the hilly state. Due to adversities such as the disasterproneness of state, the focus on human development is comparatively lesser.
Skill Development for Higher Education Students and Professionals
The focus of skill development is to address the absence of employable skills in current and
aspiring professionals applying for white collar jobs is a low priority. This type of training
essentially provides the penetration of skills relating to non-robotic and strategic job functions
within large enterprises and the service sector, failure of which, these sectors face huge
challenges in recruiting professionals with competitive skills.
This is a domain where the private sector stakeholders can play a vital role. A positive change is
witnessed in Uttarakhand wherein organizations such as the Centre for Employability
Skills[5] through their Skill Development Centre in Haldwani [6]work to equip aspiring workers
and students for white collar jobs.
The private players have to join hands with the government to assist the overall skill
development of all domains. The disproportionate focus on particular worker fields (vocations)
may create an imbalance in skilled employees for certain professions.
One of the Uttarakhand government's primary challenges is to equip its youth with the skills
requisite for the type of employment opportunities the state hopes to create.
