'Generation Green' Initiative launched by AICTE and OPPO India
A landmark collaboration between the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and OPPO India has led to the inception of the 'Generation Green' campaign. Managed by 1M1B (One Million for One Billion), this 100-day programme aims to foster green skills among Indian youth through offering 5,000 internship opportunities across colleges nationwide.
Promoting Sustainability and Skill Development
Dr. TG Sitharam, Chairman of AICTE, emphasized the significance of this initiative, stating, "It is a remarkable opportunity for students to enhance their skills while contributing to environmental sustainability efforts and building a greener world. OPPO India stands out as the first electronics manufacturing company to partner with AICTE in providing internships. This campaign aligns with AICTE's mission to offer one crore internships and contributes towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals."
Inclusive Participation and Educational Impact
Students from diverse academic backgrounds, both technical and non-technical, are encouraged to participate in this internship programme. Participants will undertake the 'green pledge' and engage in awareness sessions, e-surveys, and celebrations on Green Day.
Rakesh Bhardwaj, Head of Public Affairs at OPPO India, highlighted the broader impact of the programme, stating, "Through this initiative, we aim to impart knowledge and foster values among at least 10 lakh students from schools and colleges, promoting the concept of a sustainable community."
AICTE's Commitment to Internship Expansion
Dr. Buddha Chandrasekhar, Chief Coordinating Officer at AICTE, shared insights into the AICTE internship portal, which currently hosts over 50 lakhs internships and aims to reach one crore by 2025.
Certification and Application Details
