While addressing the crowd at Kaushal Mahotsav, Dharmendra Pradhan said, “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the unemployment rate has decreased from 6% to 3.2% which brings us closer to our dream of providing jobs to crores of youth a reality. The recent launch of Skill India Digital (SID) aims at building a robust skilling infrastructure which is providing job assistance to 22,000 state beneficiaries. Over the last five-year, the Skill India programmes like Kaushal Mahotsav, have empowered youth in the state.”
He also said: “Skill development is the backbone of all national missions and also for the development opportunities in Odisha, serving as the catalyst for transformative growth. The government has undertaken several recent projects and announcements to fortify this foundation, ensuring that the state is equipped with a skilled workforce ready to contribute to its progress.”
