Ranchi, May 3: Jharkhand Governor C.P. Radhakrishnan while addressing a conclave in apprenticeship at Indian Institute of Management here today urged people to extend their role in creating a skilled and entrepreneurial workforce and work together towards making Jharkhand a prosperous state with ample employment opportunities for all.
He, on the occasion, also talked about Indian skill development service (ISDS) launched in 2018 to work towards making India a skill hub of the world through demand-based skilling, re-skilling and up-skilling of youth and expressed his belief in the service in creating convergence and synergy between different organisations and helping immensely in reaping the potential of India’s demographic dividend.
He said that Jharkhand is a state with immense potential, rich in natural resources and a young and dynamic workforce but to realize its full potential focus on capturing opportunities and working towards the idea of ‘Atmanirbhar’ was required.
Talking about Mahatma Gandhi National Fellowship programme, he said it was playing a very significant role in enhancing the skill ecosystem at district level. He said it provides an opportunity for young, dynamic individuals to contribute to enhancing skill development and promote economic development.
Talking further about skill development and role of ministry of skill development and entrepreneurship (MSDE), the governor said: “In today’s highly competitive world, it is imperative that we equip our youth with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in their chosen careers. MSDE is committed to providing world-class training and education to our youth which will enable them to compete globally.”
