Thousands of youth from Gurugram and Dharamshala will be trained and able to build their future. At present, there is a need for skilled youth in various sectors. Especially for young people who do not have access to resources for skill development. It is also the dream of the Prime Minister that more and more young people should progress through skill training and contribute to the development of the country. Today’s youth will take the country on the path of progress, so it is our duty to empower them through skill training.”
