Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday unveiled various youth-focused initiatives worth more than Rs.62,000 crore in New Delhi, giving a push to education, skilling and entrepreneurship across the country.
PM Modi launched PM-SETU (Pradhan Mantri Skilling and Employability Transformation through Upgraded ITIs), a centrally sponsored scheme with an investment of Rs 60,000 crore.
The scheme envisages the upgradation of 1,000 government ITIs in a hub-and-spoke model comprising 200 hub ITIs and 800 spoke ITIs.
Each hub will be connected to four spokes on an average, creating clusters equipped with advanced infrastructure, modern trades, digital learning systems and incubation facilities.
Anchor industry partners will manage these clusters, ensuring outcome-based skilling aligned with market demand, it said, adding that hubs will also house innovation centres, training-of-trainers facilities, production units and placement services, while spokes will focus on expanding access.
The initiatives to be launched are expected to create significant opportunities for India’s youth. By integrating education, skill development, entrepreneurship, and improved infrastructure, they aim to support a solid foundation for the country’s progress. With a special focus on Bihar, the state is likely to develop as a centre for skilled manpower, contributing to growth both regionally and nationally.
