Mumbai, Oct 19 : Skill Development
Training will usher in a new dawn in the life of India’s youth. This training
will play an important role in creating a developed Bharat. From this point of
view, the Pramod Mahajan Rural Skill Development Center scheme of Maharashtra
is important, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi praising the skill development
initiative of the state today. Such
skill development centers will prove to be temples of employment, said Chief
Minister Eknath Shinde exuding confidence.
Prime
Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated through the videoconferencing system
511 Pramod Mahajan Rural Skill Development Centers set up in 350 taluks of the
state by the State Government’s Skill, Employment, Entrepreneurship and
Innovation Department.
On
this occasion, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Dy CM Devendra Fadanvis, Dy CM
Ajit Pawar, Skill, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Minister Mangal
Prabhat Lodha, State Chief Secretary Manoj Saunik, and others were present at
the dais at the function held at Sahyadri Guest House. Similarly, public
representatives, all revenue officers, district collectors, ZP CEOs and Senor
Officers, Center Coordinators, and citizens were present at their respective
centers and places. All these centers were connected to the main function
through the videoconferencing system.
Mentioning
the ongoing festival of Navratri and extending best wishes Prime Minister Modi
said a mother cares for her son’s happiness and success. In such a pious
atmosphere we are launching this innovative concept for training the youth.
This will bring a new dawn in their life. There is a great demand for trained
Bharatiya youth all over the world. The population of senior citizens is
increasing in other countries across the world. According to a survey, there is
a need for 40 lakh trained youth in about 16 countries across the world. They
are in great demand in sectors like construction, health, tourism, hospitality,
education and transport. Through such skill development programs we can create
a trained manpower not only for Bharat but for the entire world, Modi said.
Making
a mention of opportunities available in construction, modern agriculture, and
entertainment-media sectors, Prime Minister Modi said that it would be in the
right earnest to provide training in soft skills to those youth who want to try
their luck abroad through these skill development centers of Maharashtra. In
the past, skill development was taken that seriously, and therefore, due to the
absence of training the youths had to suffer a loss though they had capacity
and opportunities.
Now
we have set up an independent ministry for skill development and made separate
financial provisions for it. Crores of youths are being provided training
through the Prime Minister Skill Development Centers. Even today, in many
artisan families the legacy of traditional knowledge is handed down the
generations in rural areas. They need support and backing. We are implementing
the Vishwakarma Shram Sanman Yojana to provide support and backing to them.
They are given modern equipment and good training. These 511 training centers in
Maharashtra will be useful in extending the Vishwakarma Yojana, the Prime
Minister exuded confidence.
In
his speech, the Prime Minister made mention of Bharat Ratna Dr. Babasaheb
Ambedkar’s thoughts on industrialization and the contribution of Kranti Jyoti
Savitribai Fule in the field of women’s education without caring much for the …
