Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday (October 19) inaugurated 511 Pramod Mahajan Rural Skill Development Centers online in Maharashtra. These centers have been named after late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan. The purpose of starting these centers on such a large scale is to prepare skilled youth.

PM Narendra Modi said that today there are many countries in the world where the number of elderly people is continuously increasing. There is a need for such skilled youth. If India prepares such youth, they can go to work abroad in large numbers. But for that they need to take skill training first. This training center of Maharashtra will work to prepare these youth. The government needs to increase their number in the coming times.

'So far 1.30 crore youth have received skill development training'
PM Modi says that skill development programs have started after the coming of the NDA government at the Centre. About 1 crore 30 lakh youth have been given skill development training.

'Need to develop new skills for natural farming'
The Prime Minister said that today there is a great need for natural farming to save the earth. For this, we need to create new skills so that natural farming can be increased. Skill development will prove effective for this.

'Every year a force of 50 thousand skilled youth will be ready'
On this occasion, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that these skill development centers will prove to be temples for the youth of the state. This will create an army of about 50 thousand skilled youth every year. The new centers of Maharashtra will also work to take forward the PM Vishwakarma scheme recently launched by the Prime Minister.
