This document discusses how digital media can be used to develop skills for youth in India to improve employability and entrepreneurship. It notes that emerging digital classrooms and technologies like social media are fundamentally changing knowledge but also presents constraints like heterogeneity, the need for more than just lectures, and a lack of hands-on experience. It argues that open online courses through digital means could help address a lack of teachers, but that student inclination to learn also matters for the success of these programs.

4. Need for Open Courseware
through Digital Means
 Estimated that about 1,60,000 teachers
are needed for engineering education
for a student population of about twenty
lakhs (two million).
 As against this,- only about 4000
teachers are trained by Higher
Education Institutions every year
 NPTEL is the Solution

5. Digital Constraints
 Heterogeneity
 Lecture mode alone
 Clearing of Doubts
 Awareness
 Syllabus
 Hands on experience or Laboratory Experience
 Bottlenecks on account of faculty members/ College
management

6.  Few responsible instituions are taking
proactive steps in this area by up skilling
and re-skilling the existing resources.
 But again the Students’ inclination for
learning is also matters.
