He was speaking at an interaction event on ‘empowering youth’ held at BBMP open air theater in Mahalakshmi Layout. The government is planning to come up with a separate administrative government cadre for skill development.
The government plans to establish seven institutions in the country for the purpose. However, it is yet to identify a place in Karnataka to establish the institution.There is a necessity to conceptualize skill development in India.
