With an aim to uplift the poor by enhancing livelihood opportunities through skill development, government on Thursday announced a Rs 500 crore ‘Deen Dayal Antyodaya Yojana’ and also urged the industry to come forward to impart training to unemployed youth.
The DAY programme was announced by minister of housing and urban poverty alleviation Venkaiah Naidu and minister for rural development Nitin Gadkari at a convention to mark the birth anniversary of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya.
Upadhyaya was a philosopher, sociologist and political activist and a key leader of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the forerunner of the present day BJP. Seeking a public private partnership (PPP) model for the skill upgradation programme, Naidu said the industry should come forward to help impart training to unemployed youth.
‘More and more entrepreneurs should come forward to impart training to unemployed youth so
that they can get jobs. There is a dearth of skilled staff in various categories,’ he said.
