Companies investing in UP should work on skilling youth: CM Yogi

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday urged the various manufacturing companies investing in the state to work towards developing the skills of the local youth along with expanding themselves through the operation of new units in the state. CM Yogi Adityanath virtually inaugurated a paint manufacturing facility at Hardoi. Addressing the gathering via video conferencing, the Chief Minister said, “Companies investing in the state along with starting their manufacturing units should commence skill development centres for the local youth. We must work together to ensure skilled manpower for the future.” He said the Uttar Pradesh government entered into a MoA with Tata Technologies to upgrade 150ITIs in the state to take forward the skill development programme for the youth with new-age trades. At least one skill development centre should be established in Hardoi, Sandila, for which full cooperation will be provided by Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA), he said.
CM Yogi said an investment of over Rs 1,000 crore on the ground marks a new industrial revolution in Uttar Pradesh. In the midst of numerous challenges, the Industrial Development Department tried to create an opportunity in Sandila.
Emphasising that investments are being made in every part of the state, the CM said that earlier whenever there were talks of investment, it was considered to mean the region of NCR – Noida, Greater Noida, Yamuna Authority and Ghaziabad.
