- Introduction of Seacom Skills University in India and Xi’an Jiaotong University in China
Seacom Skills University established in compliance with West Bengal Government’s Policy (Gazette Notification no. 142-Edn(U) dated 31/01/2013 and legislated by West Bengal Act VI of 2014.
Seacom Skills University is founded upon the core belief in the inseparability of knowledge and skills. It deliberately dismisses as archaic and counterproductive the divisive dichotomy between thinking and doing , contemplation and action. Naturally, the pedagogical principle at work here is not merely “learning by studying”, but the more holistic “learning by doing”. Education without contemporary competency is shunned at SSU. This University equally values (in principle) and emphasizes (in practice) multiple dimensions of learning, namely “what do”,” why do” and” how to”; and simultaneously works towards inculcating, among students and teachers alike, the indispensable attitude of “want to”. The “habit” of “effective education” is cultivated at the meeting ground of knowledge, skill and desire called the Seacom Skills University.
Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU) is a key university under the direct administration of the Ministry of Education of China and is one of the oldest universities in China. As one of the first batch of the universities in China, was supported by the central Government at the seventh and eighth five-year plan, as well as China's “Project 211” and “Project 985” to develop into a world-class university. Now, Xi’an Jiaotong University is on the List of World-class Universities and First-class Disciplines (abbreviated as “Double First-class”) released in 2017 by the Ministry of Education of China, as a Double First-class university in Category A, which means that the government will support it financially to develop into a world-class university, and its eight disciplines into the first-class level in the world.
