The Govt. of Andhra Pradesh initiated Jawahar Knowledge Centres (JKC) in Degree Colleges to help students learn and practice employability skills. These centers aim to provide solution to the problem of unemployment faced by students studying nonprofessional courses in Degree Colleges of AP. The ever increasing prominence of India on the global map has lead to a growing demand for hard working and talented students good with computer skills, communication skills and industry related skills. The doors of global job market are opened to students who can speak fluently, compute quickly, write legibly and analyze logically.
