The government declared that it would spend Rs.500
crore on skill development of urban poor. The announcement came barely hours
after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the ‘Make in India ’ plan,
which also aims at creating job opportunities.
Four major private firms also
made a commitment to hire at least 30,000 rural youth who would be trained in
the next three years. The skill development scheme has been named Deen Dayal
Antyodaya Yojana and was announced by housing and poverty alleviation
minister M Venkaiah Naidu and rural development minister Nitin Gadkari. Naidu
said it will now cover all the 4,041 statutory cities and towns, instead of the
current 790 cities and towns.
