The Education System Had A Bias Against Skills
WHEN PRIME MINISTER Narendra Modi decided to create a new ministry of skill development and entrepreneurship, he zeroed in on young BJP leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy to head it. Rudy, a doer, has led from the front, and helped craft a new language for skill development where none existed. In an interview with BW Businessworld’s Suman K. Jha, Rudy says skilling never had an aspirational value in the country, and that he’s determined to change the mindset.

Who Is Your Target Audience?
“Our culture often does portray women especially like objects. My mom would always point out everytime the cheerleaders would come on, [and say] “OK, so look, here's the story that gets told: the men get to be these heroic, skilled athletes. And the women just get to be pretty.” Just the concept of that, she wanted my brother and I to be aware of it. Because we see these images on TV, in movies and in the magazines, all the time and if we don’t just stop and think about it, it sort of seeps into your brain and becomes the way you perceive reality.” — Joseph Gordon-Levitt on ‘Ellen’ Jan 2014 (adapted).
