Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the goal is to produce 22000 skilled students every year. Along with skill, the confidence of the students should increase so much so that they get selected in good institutions. My visit here on the occasion of foundation laying reflects our seriousness and priority for the project. The departmental minister and his team deserve to be congratulated.

Minister also told that Global Skill Park Bhopal is being constructed in 30 acre area in technical consultation and cooperation with Singapore. This is his dream project. This plan was made in the year 2017. He visited Singapore for this purpose. Singapore has expertise in this area. The dream is to ensure that children get so skillful that they get placements. Skill Park of Bhopal will serve this purpose. The Chief Minister said that the work of this skill park should now be paced up. The delay has come due to the constraints during the former government. The previous government did not even pay attention.

Our aim is to make this skill park a global level institution. I wish that the trained students here can demonstrate their ability not only in India but also in other countries and they should get opportunities in other countries, there should be a system to make them so qualified, he added.

Apart from the fixed 11 trades, other trades can also be started as per local requirement. The trades fixed for training include Mechatronics, Mobile Electronics, Power and Control, Network and System Administration, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Mechanical and Electrical Services, Automotive, Mechanical Technology, Hospitality, Retail and Precision Engineering (Global Skills Park City Operated on campus). Initially six thousand students and later 10 thousand students will be trained every year. In five years, 40 thousand students will get employment oriented training. Mega ITIs will be operated at 10 divisional headquarters of the state. Their work will be completed by the Housing Board.
