Make 10 months internship compulsory for graduates, Jagan directs officials

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has called upon the officials of the Higher Education Department to strive to increase the Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) to beyond 80%. He also proposed to bring all government degree colleges under one university to add value to the degree courses.

Addressing a review meeting on higher education on Friday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the Jagananna Vidya Deevena and Vasathi Deevena schemes were being implemented on a saturation basis for the benefit of poor students in order to realise the GER goal.

Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy ordered that internship for 10 months be made compulsory for graduates in order to make them worthy of being selected by prospective employers.
