Dr Hari Krishna Maram receives D.Litt for bringing digital revolution

Vision Digital India, a brainchild of Dr Hari Krishna Maram, plays a vital role in providing Digital Skills.

Dr Hari Krishna Maram was felicitated with honorary D.Litt by Dr Raj Singh, Vice-Chancellor Jain University, Justice Hulvadi G Ramesh, Dr Asif Iqbal President Indian Economic Trade Organization and many more distinguished guests for his work at Vision Digital India.

Vision Digital India has launched a course that aims to bring digital education to 1 million students in the coming few years. The course will prepare the youth with digital and analytical skills, which are much sought-after by the corporate sectors.

Many bright young minds today, do not get to live their dream of making it big in the corporate world, simply because of the immense gap between the education that has been imparted to them and industry requirements. The industry today is upgrading itself at such a breakneck speed that most educational institutions cannot keep up. It is why the courses they offer are becoming dated and obsolete, and students armed with such degrees find themselves to be inadequately trained to cut in a highly-competitive industry.

“This is what Vision Digital India had in mind when it created a course that is precisely tailored to meet the demands of the corporate world, and ensure that students are industry-ready. Through its endeavour, Vision Digital India is trying to make PM Narendra Modi’s flagship campaign Digital India, a resounding success and it is succinctly summed up in their motto ‘Enable Digital’, said Dr Hari Krishna Maram, Chairman, Vision Digital India, on asking about this endeavour.

To turn dreams into reality, Vision Digital India has incorporated niche technology into its course-structure to make it industry-relevant. Employers don’t just look into a candidate’s scorecard but what truly works in a student’s favour is how quickly they can be inducted into the workforce. And, this calls students for acquiring a better understanding of new and advanced technological concepts like data science, cloud and analytics. Hence, forming the backbone of an industry.

What sets the course apart is the fact that Vision Digital India is bringing to the table top-notch digital education at extremely affordable prices. What adds to its USP is that it has joined hands with Google, IBM, and Amazon, to rope in their technical know-how. Such as the analytics certificate comes from IBM and Google certifies the Digital Marketing course.

Moreover, Vision Digital India has secured the help of industry professionals who know the real world, how it works, knowledge of current updates and requirements and expectation of employers from employees. Who can instruct and train students better than those who are knowledgeable in the corporate world? 

But, how does it go about it? Vision Digital India approaches colleges to implement its course. As per university regulations, the duration of the course is set at 80 hours. The bulk of it, 60% is dedicated to hands-on training and the remaining 40% is about theory.
