Telangana Govt actively working for setting up skill centres and universities to make youth job ready, says Industries Minister

Telangana Government is actively working for the establishment of skill centres and universities to impart employment skills to youth and make them job ready.

The Government has accorded top priority to skill development and an action plan is being formulated in this regard, Industries and IT Minister D. Sridhar Babu said, adding that steps had been initiated to fill the two lakh vacant posts in the Government as assured by the Congress in the run-up to the State Assembly Elections-2023. Steps are simultaneously being taken to generate employment in the private sector.

The Minister was speaking at the inauguration of a job mela organised at the Youth Services Commissionerate as part of the National Youth Day, coinciding with the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda on Friday. Mr. Sridhar Babu lamented that the State was “directionless” during the close to 10-year tenure of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government and the Congress Government had initiated the process for remedying the situation.
