With the tagline “Pehli Naukri Pakki” (first job is assured), the “right to apprenticeship” is one of the marquees promises in the Congress’s election manifesto, putting the issue of unemployment at the centre of their campaign against the Narendra Modi government.
The party proposes to organise a one-year apprenticeship programme, with government, public or private sector organisation with a stipend of ₹1 lakh a year, for all persons under 25, who are college graduates or hold a diploma.
