The initiative taken up by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) and Nettur Technical Training Foundation (NTTF) to reskill tribal youth in five districts has proved a success.
The first set of 31 tribal youth selected from Kannur, Kasaragod, Malappuram, Palakkad, and Wayanad were trained as Computer Numerical Control (CNC) operators and have been placed in a company in Bengaluru. A CNC operator ensures that automated industrial products using pre-programmed software are set up and run effectively.
According to a NABARD official, a sum of over ₹23.82 lakh was sanctioned by NABARD, and the NTTF contributed ₹1.03 lakh for the programme.
