The MoS has also launched skill development initiatives in the state under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship’s (MSDE) flagship scheme Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana.
This new iteration of PMKVY will drive the aspirations of the Youth in the state with 100+ future skills in the areas of 3D additive manufacturing, Drone Technology, Data engineering to name a few. Under this initiative, more than 48,000 youth in Tripura will be skilled in the next 3 years. The initiative also prioritizes on-the-job training and robust industry partnerships.
Addressing the event, the MoS Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that Narendra Modi Government not only makes announcements but also works hard to ensure all promises are fulfilled.
“It is our goal that every young Indian in Tripura has access to skilling programmes and opportunities. Through these skilling opportunities, they can secure jobs, engage in self-employment, and foster entrepreneurship. This aligns with the vision of ‘Naya Bharat’, and this ‘Badalta Bharat’ is nurturing a generation that is the luckiest in the history of Independent India. Before 2014, in our country, opportunities were scarce and often accessible only through connections or godfathers. Today, irrespective of where young Indians live—whether in Agartala, Bengaluru, Mumbai, or Gurugram—they have unprecedented opportunities. To tap into these opportunities, young Indians need skilling and education”, he said.
