Indian Economy is developing at a fast pace, inviting various MNCs to come and set up their centers, leading to large scale development in the IT, BPO and Services Sectors. Employment opportunities are rising but it could become a curse if the youngsters fail to find jobs for lack of job-worthy education.
India has more than half of its population under 25 years and thus having a tremendous supply of workforce over the next three decades. Even though engineering and management colleges are mushrooming, India will produce about 2.5 million graduates, including 4,50,000 assorted engineers and 1,00,000 managers in 2007, the quality of education has always remain a concern.
Taking into account the importance of Education, various individuals and corporates have come out to contribute towards mass education in India and to provide the depth of information through the right education material. One of the oldest among them is the MBD Group. MBD group is one of the Country’s leading Publishing House with nearly 4 decades of experience & Rs. 175 crore turnover. Through its various imprints, MBD publishes Primary, Middle, Higher Secondary and Senior Secondary Books, College level books, Medical, Engineering and various other Technical books in English, Hindi and all other major languages. It also publishes most of the major languages spoken worldwide. The MBD Group is committed and long-standing supporter of education institutions and programs. The largest single block of the group contributions goes to education, including schools, colleges and university programs across the Globe.
The 21st century has brought new challenges and opportunities for higher education. In the wake of the transition from elitist to mass education, universities worldwide are under pressure to enhance access and equity, on the one hand, and to maintain high standards of quality and excellence, on the other. Today the notion of equity not only implies greater access to higher education, but also opportunities for progress. In recent debates on higher education, the notions of equity and access go beyond minority to diversity.
In today’s world, an educated population is more valuable than any natural resource.
MBD has identified this need and is creating a platform for delivering Indian education for masses with a global reach through it's virtual classroom offer, already in beta stage and soon to be launched.
