On World Youth Skills Day, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Dharmendra Pradhan says skilling is no longer a secondary ancillary to education in India.

New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government is looking to skill India’s youth with knowledge to ensure they are employable, Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan said at an event on World Youth Skills Day Thursday.  

Highlighting the government’s efforts to increase the employability of the Indian youth, Pradhan said the Rs 5-lakh-crore capital expenditure to give a push to the Indian economy would result in blue-collared jobs.

“The government’s budget, Rs 5 lakh crore, which has been added as a capital expenditure in the budget, will help create demand for skilled blue collar professionals in the country. The ministry will focus on creating youth who have knowledge and are employable,” he said.

“This expenditure is in addition to the Rs 5 lakh crore public agencies of the government will spend,” Pradhan added.

The minister said skilling is no longer a secondary ancillary to education in the country.

“During the cabinet reshuffle, PM Modi too emphasised on treating skill and education as issues of equal importance, which is why they were placed under one leader,” said Pradhan, who is also the Minister of Education.

“The new National Education Policy gives the roadmap to take India’s skilling to a global level and map the skills required in the country. Post Covid, recovery of the economy now depends on how fast we can skill our youth and make them employable,” he added.
