India today faces an enormous challenge, that of harnessing its vast human resource. We stand at 1,352,065,645 and the numbers are increasing every second. A study conducted in early this year said that about 41.08 % of our population is in the age bracket of 25-54 years, 0-14 years stands at 27.34% and 15-24 is at 17.9%. A look at these numbers is sufficient to understand that we are heading for a demographic disaster if this reserve is not harnessed.
Today, unemployment is a major challenge, however, this issue is not due to lack of education but more so due to lack of opportunities and access. But as Albert Einstein said, "In The Middle Of Every Difficulty Lies Opportunity" we can together turn this demographic dividend into a skilled and successful workforce to help India to become a nucleus of Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
Under the leadership of Honorable Chief Minister, Vasundhara Raje, Rajasthan government is leaving no stone unturned to bring about a paradigm shift to the higher education scenario. With the dedicated focus on nurturing innovations and entrepreneurship to make youth employable and generate employment, the Rajasthan government is truly setting a precedent.
As an accomplished society, we must remember that to succeed it is important to collaborate and connect. The role Industry is as important in addressing unemployment. In this context, the 'Department of Higher and Technical Education, Government of Rajasthan', in collaboration with BW Education is organizing 3rd Higher Education Conclave on July 20-21 at the Hotel Radisson Blu, Jaipur.
The objective behind the proposed conclave is to ensure that practice meets theory across all functional areas and discussions on Skills, Innovations, Industry Connect and Fostering entrepreneurship are ensuring growth in Higher Education Institutions. The event would also provide a platform to share best practices in Higher Education from across the country.
The conference is a yardstick in initiating a dialogue on bridging the gap between corporate expectations and industry-academia standards which help institutions scale on various aspects to become world class.
Indian Accredation Agencies are the most scrupulous in developing guidelines and evaluating the academic integrity of the institutions that operate within its borders. The online education has allowed colleges and universities to operate seamlessly across geographical boundaries.

This year the Forbes top 100 highest paid athletes list could be easily renamed as the "highest paid male athletes in the world". There was not even a single woman on the list. The absence of women is nothing but a black mirror to the problem of gender discrimination at work. Or so if we choose to see it. It is high time to address the elephant in the room.
Speakers:
It is very important to link education to Employment. Mostly whatever we learn in theory is very different in practical application. People have always claimed to learn most on the job. So in this case how can we create the right curriculum in educational institutions to creat job ready talent on the first day.
