Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Polit Bureau member Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy has asserted that 2.13 lakh youths were trained in 42 skill development centres set up by the Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) in collaborations with Siemens.
Addressing the media after visiting a skill development centre at Gudur on September 30 (Saturday), Mr. Chandramohan Reddy said about 10,000 youths had honed their skills in Nellore district alone at the centres set up in engineering colleges and polytechnics. “There is no scam whatsoever,” he asserted.
Had the initiative been continued by the YSRCP government, more youths would have benefitted, he said.
