The Haryana Skill Development Mission (HSDM) will impart training to 50,000 and the remaining will be trained by different government departments.

Out of the 50,000 targeted by HSDM, 14,000 would receive training under the centrally-sponsored state-managed component of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) and 5,000 through Driver Training Schools.

There is also a proposal to set up branches of National Institute of Fashion Technology, National Institute of Design (NID), Multi Skill Development Centre, Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK) and India International Skill Centre (IISC) in the state.

The HSDM has listed 23 training providers which would impart training as per National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) in several fields, including telecommunication, security, healthcare, automotive, banking, financial services and insurance, logistics, electronics and plastic manufacturing, the news agency report quoted a Department spokesman as saying.

Under the Smart Gram Initiative, a skill training centre has been set up in Daula village of Gurugram district in which youth of five villages adopted by the Indian President are being given training. Apart from this, the Haryana Vishwakarma Skill University (Transit Campus) has been made operational from Gurugram. (DS)
