Encouraging the students for entrepreneurship, Sh. Dattatraya said that most of the youth passing out from higher educational institutions in the country aspires for government jobs, but the government cannot give jobs to everyone. The youth have to skill themselves so that they can make themselves employable. They have to be job creators, not job seekers. Sh Dattatraya said that this University, 
which was established in the year 1969 as an Indo-German Project as diploma institute, has contributed significantly in making the youth of the country skilled and entrepreneurs. It is a commendable step by the Haryana Government to name this institute after the great scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose. The Governor also appreciated the efforts of the University in the social concern. Describing the National Education Policy-2020 as an important step towards skilling the youth, Sh. Dattatreya said that this is the policy which will alleviate unemployment and poverty. It has laid emphasis on education based on industrial needs and technology. The provision of vocational education has been made at the primary level and importance has been given to mother tongue, regional language and local language. This is the first time in 60 years when an education policy has taken the initiative of teaching-learning in the regional languages. Accordingly, PhD and Technical Courses will soon be started in Hindi language in the State. He said that the Haryana Government is going to implement the National Education Policy by the year 2025, for which the Chief Minister deserves appreciation. He said that the state universities would have to work for effective implementation of the policy in the next 4-5 years.
