Why IITs and IIMs must lead renewable energy education for a sustainable future

India Today  

As India races toward ambitious climate goals, including achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 and sourcing 50% of its energy from renewables by 2030, the renewable energy sector faces a looming crisis: a dire shortage of skilled professionals. This talent gap spans across levels from mid-management executives to on-ground technicians and underscores the urgent need for a reimagined education framework that positions renewable energy as a core academic discipline in leading institutions like IITs and IIMs. LIMITED ACADEMIC PATHWAYS The government and private educational institutions need to design dedicated integral courses to support the entire renewable energy value chain. For example, courses like the BVoc in Solar Energy offered by Jamia Millia Islamia prepare students for roles in manufacturing and design, with a notable proportion of graduates securing placements in renewable energy companies. Incorporate Energy Education into Core Curricula: Leading institutions like IITs and IIMs must offer specialised courses in renewable energy and energy security.
