Faculty development: A catalyst for India’s emergence as a global ESDM and semiconductor leader

As per a recent report by KPMG, the semiconductor consumption in India is growing at an impressive rate of 15 per cent, fueled by the booming electronics manufacturing industry. Electronics production, which reached approximately $70 billion in 2018-19, is projected to grow at an annual rate of 30 per cent until 2025. This sector holds immense potential, especially considering the global shortage we currently face. However, the key to unlocking this potential lies in skill development, which can only be achieved through a strong focus on faculty development. The demand for skilled professionals will thereby surge in the coming years, and to meet this demand, faculty development takes centerstage.
