Intangible Knowledge Capital is replacing the age-old Physical Tangible Capital base in the era of Information explosion and global level benchmarking in all spheres of human activities. There is a paradigm shift in all areas of operations, deliberate actions and strategic moves adopted by the leaders. There is a visible move from Business Process Outsourcing( BPO) to Engineering Process Outsourcing (EPO) and Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO). In such a paradigm shift , the institutes of higher education cannot remain passive, offering age-old traditional courses.

According to Strategic Review Report –2007 of NASSCOM, the IT and ITES industry is growing at the annual rate of 7.7 per cent worldwide which is growing at the rate of more than 28 percent in India. There is a tremendous growth potential for those who are experts in the field. According to McKinsey estimate, India’s export revenue related to this field is expected to be 60 million US duller by the year end 2009-10 which shall require 8.5 lakhs IT professionals and 14 lakhs ITES experts.

In order to cater to the need of time, Veer Narmad South Gujarat University has taken a proactive move of starting a five year integrated program M Sc(IT) and a two year Post Graduate Program M. SC(ICT). I am sure the novel move of the University will help the industry to meet the requirement of skilled manpower. This will provide platform to the aspiring students and help them in acquiring right skills and knowledge for building career in these sectors.

I wish success to all.
