He said with the modern advancement in science and technology, one can earn any degree or diploma from any university or college through regular class or distance education programmes. But what skills one have acquired is more important than the degrees or diplomas.

He also stated that in the present world of specialization and skill based work culture, the employers are looking for people specialized or skilled in a particular field of work with a healthy attitude towards their works and a positive outlook in life.
“You need to get yourself trained or specialized in job-oriented courses. You can create your own jobs by utilizing your own talents. Let your expertise be wanted. Hard work alone is not enough. You need skills,” he said.
