Varanasi will soon get a model skill training centre which will offer courses across different trades and job roles and create employment opportunities for the local youth, Union minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy said on Tuesday.
Union Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Rudy held a meeting with representatives of government ITIs and training institutes for proper implementation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Skill India’ mission. Modi represents Varanasi in Lok Sabha.
He said this move was part of the upcoming National Youth Festival, which is celebrated to commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda.
Rudy also met representatives of several NSDC-affiliated training partners. The training partners of National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) will help set up these model training centres.
