The Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched 511 Pramod Mahajan Grameen Kaushalya Vikas Kendras in Maharashtra via video conferencing today. Established across 34 rural districts of Maharashtra, these Kendras will conduct skill development training programs across various sectors to provide employment opportunities to rural youth.
The Grameen Kaushalya Vikas Kendras will conduct skill development training programs across various sectors to provide employment opportunities to rural youth. Each Kendra will train about 100 youngsters in at least two vocational courses. The training will be provided by empanelled industry partners and agencies under the National Skill Development Council.
The Prime Minister said that the demand for skilled Indian youth is growing globally. Referring to the increasing age profile in the demography of many countries, the Prime Minister mentioned a study that says that 16 countries have planned to provide employment to about 40 lakh skilled youth.  “India is preparing skilled professionals for the world, not just for itself”, the Prime Minister said. He said that the Skill Centers in Maharashtra will prepare the local youth for global jobs and will skill them in construction, modern farming, media and entertainment, and electronics. The Prime Minister also emphasized the need to provide training in soft skills such as basic foreign language skills, using AI tools for language interpretation which will make them more attractive for the recruiters.
For long, the Prime Minister pointed out that the previous governments lacked farsightedness and seriousness towards skill development which resulted in fewer job opportunities for the lakhs of youth due to lack of skills. The Prime Minister underlined that the present government understood the need for skill development and created a separate ministry dedicated to it with its own budgetary allocation and multiple schemes. Under the Kaushal Vikas Scheme, the Prime Minister informed that more than 1 crore 30 lakh youth have been provided training under multiple traits, while more than hundreds of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendras have been established all over the country.
He underlined the need for good quality products or products with zero defects in India’s manufacturing industry and also touched upon Industry 4.0 which requires new skills. He said that governments will also have to emphasize new skills keeping in mind the service sector, knowledge economy and modern technology. The Prime Minister also stressed finding out the kind of products for manufacturing that will lead the nation towards self-reliance.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Ministers of Maharashtra,  Devendra Fadnavis and Shri Ajit Pawar were present on the occasion among others.

“Why Is PM Silent?”

There is again a new report on Adani group, alleging that the group imported billions of dollars of coal prices above the market rate. And senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to order a probe into reports on Adani. A report had appeared in Financial Times which alleged that Adani group, India’s largest private coal importer, has been inflating the fuel price which is causing millions of Indian consumers to overpay for electricity. The Financial Times had reviewed the custom records, which showed that Adani used foreign intermediaries in Taiwan, Dubai and Singapore to import $5 billion worth of coal at prices that were at times more than double the market price. Financial Times also reported that one of these companies is owned by a Taiwanian businessman who was recently named as a hidden shareholder in Adani companies by FT. This allegation on Adani group was made seven years ago when there was a probe by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence. Adani Group has denied the allegations. It said that the Financial Times report is based on “old, baseless allegations” and the report is “a clever recycling and selective misrepresentation of publicly available facts and information.” Well, few months back Hindenburg Research had accused Adani of stock manipulation and accounting fraud. The case on this is still going on in the Supreme Court of India. Hindenburg Research has brought a Chinese angle in its report on Adani Group. Hindenburg had pointed out that the Adani Group has not clarified its relationship with a Chinese national (Chang Chung-Ling), despite a plethora of linkages. Hindenburg had asked about the nature of Chang Chung-Ling’s relationship with the Adani Group. Now, after this latest report on the mystery of coal imports by Adani group, the opposition party is questioning PM Modi to order a probe into a case. The PM is silent on it. The Prime Minister has still not made any official or indirect statement on the Adani-Hindenburg report, amidst all the allegations that Modi and Adani are one team. Also there is a special term which the opposition uses to refer to the Modi-Adani relation. Why this silence from our Prime Minister? Shouldn’t he be answering the opposition parties who are questioning him on his relations to Adani to put this matter to rest?
