“Virtual Rozgar” concept is developed by the company Virtual Global Education Limited (VGEL), which was incorporated in 1993 with the mission of improving the quality of human capital in the country through skill and education interventions. We have moved from strength to strength in our path and look forward to continuing our mission.

The focus of VGEL has been on delivering skill and education interventions to the sections of society and parts of the country where they are most needed, where youth have limited exposure and lack access to opportunities to achieve their career or livelihood goals. Currently, we have our presence in 14 states with 45 centers across both urban and rural areas.

We have several initiatives catering to the most disadvantaged places like Left Wing Extremist Districts and remote areas of North-East India. By March 2016, we plan to have more than 150 centers, increasing our reach to the youth who seek skills for better lives.

True guidance is like a small torch in a dark forest; it does not show everything at once, but it gives enough light for the next step to be safe. Dear Stakeholders,

It is my privilege to present the 22nd Annual General Meeting of Virtual Global Education Limited. Skill and education play a significant role in building a nation and creating huge opportunities for individuals. The growth of the Indian economy and rising income levels are factors boosting the investment in education.

It gives me immense pleasure to share with you that the budget this year on education has shown favorable symptoms for the education sector. For the year 2015-2016, the government allotted Rs. 26,855 crore to the department of higher education under the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry compared to Rs. 23,700 crore in 2014-2015, registering an increase of 13.31 percent.

Your Board has decided that we will endeavor to train around 100 million youth by 2020 in Health Care, Telecom & Communication Technology, Solar Energy, Retail, and Banking & Accounting Sectors by connecting the Gram Panchayat through digital platforms.

The financial year 2014-2015 has been a challenging year for your company as it had to identify the right sectors to link with the industry to provide the required training. We have identified 15 sectors linking with the industry to provide training so that individuals can get real-time experience and practical exposure. Your Company has been successful in applying for many skill development projects of the Central Government and has started centers in various districts of Rajasthan. Your company has been empaneled with CBSE as a Skill Knowledge Provider in the I.T. Sector to provide training in CBSE-affiliated schools in Delhi, Rajasthan, and West Bengal.

Internationally, our action agenda focuses on vocational training and education in developing markets, where there is a lack of skilled talent in areas like IT. Through policy initiatives, technology platforms, and school outreach activities, we aim to bridge the gap in skill development. I am glad to inform you that Virtual University of California is incorporated in San Jose, California, offering Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programs in Management, Information Technology, Economics, and Finance. The new Virtual University will also offer diploma certificates as per the applicable rules of the USA.

With increased competition for jobs and the trend now being on continuous learning, more and more people are enhancing their educational qualifications online. Currently, industries across verticals are adapting to e-learning in a big way, and the market is expected to grow. The advent of satellite technology and the internet has changed the way people live. Open education is fast growing to become the dominant form of education, for many reasons such as its efficiency, reach, and results compared to traditional methods. Skill and education are crucial in shaping the future workforce, and open education plays a key role in making learning accessible.

The cost of education has been an issue throughout history and remains a major political issue in most countries today. Open education is generally significantly cheaper than traditional campus-based learning and, in many cases, even free on a case-to-case basis.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr. G.N. Gupta
