KTR mooted an idea of practice school option, an educational innovation seeking to link industry experience with university instruction
Hyderabad: IT for twenty years has been Information Technology. But, it doesn’t hold any water now. IT is now Intelligence Technology.
The time has come now to redefine it said KT Rama Rao, Minister for IT & C, Govt of Telangana while addressing the 2000 plus Engineering Education Experts at the inauguration of 7th International Conference on Transformations in Engineering Education here in the city at Anurag Group of Institutions (AGI) Campus at Venkatapur on Monday morning.
The theme of the event is “Socio-humanistic approach in Engineering Education” with sub themes such as outcomes based education, game based and project based learning, innovation in teaching, learning process and entrepreneurship and others.
Government of Telangana is committed for quality in all stages of education. The state has 220 Engineering colleges with an intake of 1.2 lakh students in various streams.
Delegates of ICTIEE 2020.
When we took over the realms of the State, we observed that engineering educational standards were deteriorating. We appointed a committee and inspected the standards. It was a tough call. But our surprise the number of colleges have not come down drastically, he shared
When industry complained that skill-sets among engineering students was a problem we came out with TASK, Telangana Academy of Skills and Knowledge.
TASK in last 5 years reached out to 680 colleges, trained 5070 Faculty and 2.9 lakh students in various skill sets, KT Rama Rao informed.
He suggested that Practice School Option something similar existing in Germany must be introduced as part of our curriculum.
The Practice School program allows a student to practice concepts learnt in classrooms in real-life situations while also sensitizing them to the ways of workplace behaviour by assigning time-bound projects as in a company.
JNTU is actively considering this. We must seek BVR Mohan Reddy’s support as he is the Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany. It can be either six or 12 months and hopefully the institutions must kick start this from next year, he said.
India has a demographic dividend. 50 per cent population is below 27 years and 65 per cent below 35. They are the one going to drive India. If we don’t use these resources by skilling them properly it will boomerang as demographic disaster he cautioned.
Hyderabad is popular and known for IT Services. But it is also known as a Hub for Electronics Manufacturing, Emerging Technologies, Defence and Aerospace sectors, he shared
Our vision KT Rama Rao said is to foster innovation driven economy in Telangana and concluded his address.
KT Rama Rao also unveiled ICTIEE-2020 Souvenir.

The Hyderabad MP told reporters that the masked goons should be arrested, booked for attempt to murder and trespass and damages to the university property should be recovered from them.
He also demanded resignation of JNU Vice-Chancellor Jagadesh Kumar. “If he has any shame left, he should immediately resign. As the head of the institution he should have protected the students,” he said.
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) slammed Delhi police for booking of cases against JNU Students Union President Ashe Ghosh. “I condemn this. This is injustice. She was injured in the attack and instead of arresting those who carried out the attack, police booked her,” he said.
Owaisi said the police failed to arrest the perpetrators even two days after the attack. “The attack was carried by aliens who had come in spaceships from Mars and Venus. The masked aliens armed with iron rods and lathis silently walked into the university and after the attack left in the spaceships,” he remarked, ridiculing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad”s claim that it is not behind the attack.
“Who is this joker who has owned the responsibility,” asked Owaisi, reacting to reports that a fringe group Hindu Raksha Dal took responsibility for the attack at JNU.
The MP said Delhi police allowed the masked cowards to carry out the brutal attack for one-and-half hour. “The same police had barged into Jamia Millia Islamia and attacked students in a library, resulting in one student losing his eye-sight. The policemen also attacked girl students. At JNU the police did nothing to stop the goons. This is the new India,” he said.

HYDERABAD: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday took to Twitter to slam Cyberabad Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar for his controversial reply to tweet about alleged ‘Jihadis’ working in software companies.
The Hyderabad MP asked the police official to clarify his reply to a tweet by a man, who remarked that many wannabe ‘Jihadis’ work for American software companies in Hyderabad.
Referring to Iran’s threat to hit US assets, Suresh Kochattil wanted to know if Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda police did background check of ‘these peacefuls’.
“Yes sir… We have specialised wings for collection of advance intel and our teams are on the job 24X7. Thanks for alerting us. Please keep us updated if you find anything suspicious,” replied Cyberabad Police Commissioner.
Taking exception to Sajjanar’s reply, Owaisi sought a clarification. “Sir, you say “yes sir”. Please enlighten how many such “jihadis” are working in software companies, kindly give a number, if not, please clarify what you exactly meant. Will you reply to an MP or only to a Bhakt?,” tweeted Owaisi.
@cpcybd sir you say "yes sir" please enlighten how many such "jihadi" are working in software companies kindly give a number if not please clarify what you exactly meant Will you reply to an MP or only to a Bhakt? https://t.co/uEMhF7Or2v
Owaisi told the police chief that terrorism has no religion and mentioned Mahatma Gandhi’s killer Nathu Ram Godse.
The MP also advised Sajjanar not to resort to killings in the name of encounter. “Whatever you do but no killings in the name of “encounter” at 5 am please, if possible arrest & as accepted 3rd degree will be given but pls no cartoos in stomach,” said Owaisi in an obvious reference to killing of four accused in the rape and murder case by Cyberabad police last month.
