1. The relative need for a Project Centre
The current economic crisis due to the COVID-19 health threat may have impacted businesses and their financial options for generating jobs or opportunities.
The need is to help under graduate students find internships, projects or opportunities that progressively conceive futures.
When there are no jobs, under graduates may either wait or take up higher education, where either of this may not help our generative futures.
Ideation and innovation challenges are open opportunities for under graduates or graduates, but this does not seed a future for any of them. To seed a future, the HRD ministry must work out Project Centre assisted or sustainable “internships, projects or opportunities that progressively conceive futures”.
The role play for sustainable development and growth is not new but needs validation right from the HRD ministry, to the industry, to the businesses and the institutions, as several segments of students get good project opportunities but this is not the case for one and all.
A project for a curriculum does only help in its own role play. It does not address what our country, or industry needs as inter-related sense for the impending problem, that is, many have no funding, no money, no jobs, no growth etc.
Given that students in “under graduate courses” find, plan for, develop or involve themselves in different projects, where expert faculty or field level guidance is offered to their teams and representatives, we could have institutions deploy Project Centres that play a role for the current sustainable development and growth vision.
Further said, the mission or vision for sustainable development & growth is seen in different GOI solutions such as Skill Up India, Make in India, Atma Nirbhar India etc, but this mission-critical focus is still open ended for how the industry looks ahead to generate jobs or job opportunities.
The solution finding by the HRD ministry may be on, but the inter-related sense can be developed by designing and deploying Project Centres at the industry domain, business and institution level.
The roadmap of Projects could be defined with mission-critical focus.
The incorporation of a Project Centre for stipend or job related projects can help add alignment for mission critical focus and for what the industry needs today as (well-formulated or) self-enabled solutions or development for specific results, quality and management.
Each terminal semester or entry level project needs to have a sense of purpose, as a project does need time, resources, funds and team effort.
Today, this definition of projects or alignment via sustainable projects needs GOI alignment, as it can reduce the impact on one and all.
Each of these projects may become a trend setting solution or new “sense of design, implementation or even teaming for development, solution finding or re-engineering”.
It could help end to end management of the investment of time, resources, funds and team effort for projects.

2. Could projects result in SMARTER experiences?
The Project Centre could help students teaming up understand the need for project specific data, configuration data, logs, infrastructure, systems, processes, resources and auditable SMARTER experience.
SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time or Trends oriented planning, implementation and management.
The Project Centre could help add critical path management that is important for endeavours where a new “sense of perspective or problem resolution” needs a well developed project lifecycle and the management of project indicators that drive acceptance at the academic & industrial level.
The Project Centre could ensure that students not only think about ideas in accountancy, commerce, economics, non-technical areas, engineering or for problem solving but also acknowledge the need for Effective or SMART project management.
3. Why has this come up?
Project Consultants have debated on the subject of Sustainable Project Management and use gap analysis for what can make projects sustainable and futuristically acceptable.
3.1 Students get assigned projects or find available projects
3.2. Students may start teaming with personal preference most of the time or may need to revise the teaming at different times.
3.3. Students may not have methods to record or refer to configuration data or logs to thereon design or model their projects.
3.4. Students may not have a return of investment model that can help them gain recognition, get funding or assistance.
3.5. Students may need impersonal project management or real world specific administrative strategies
3.6. Students may need to manage change in existing design, strategy, modelling or may even need to reengineer, where fundamentals for change management are important in the industry.
3.7. Students may need to focus on sustainable factors such as Point Slope Interception systems that can be implemented in the project to help make project and development lifecycles safe, sustainable and futuristically acceptable.
Point Slope Interception Systems take 2 points in the projected critical path and infer whether the change between these 2 points is safe, sustainable and futuristically acceptable.
