Interns and apprentices under Mukhyamantri Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana also demand extension of tenure.
LATUR: Youths appointed as apprentices under a skilling initiative of the Maharashtra government on Monday held a protest in Latur.

The protesters, who marched from Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Park to the old collectorate, sought extension of tenure as well as permanent employment. They also sought 10 per cent quota for such apprentices in government jobs. The scheme is helmed by the state's Department of Skill Development, Employment, and Entrepreneurship.
