Director, (UGC-NET),
CBSE, Mr. M V V Prasada Rao on Tuesday admitted that much needed to be done to
impart skills for wider and comprehensive coverage of Indian populace,
particularly at formative years which is the sole reason for India to lag
behind on technological front though efforts have now begun on this front.

Chamber of Commerce and Industry here today in partnership with ICDL, Mr. Rao,

sufficiently with tools through which information dissemination becomes
conclusive with skills par excellence at the arms of owners.

prevailing operations and applications at mobiles, laptops and computers and

technology with those that claim skills at their possession.

tools and appliances and when we integrate ourselves and connect adequately
with emerging devices, we can only then claim to have established liaison with
these for successful digitalization which is the requirement of the day”, said
Mr. Rao.
