ITANAGAR, Oct 17: Under the Prime Minister's Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY 4.0), a significant step to address youth unemployment was taken with the launch of a new training center in Itanagar. The ceremony saw the presence of distinguished guests including K. V Lincoln, Principal ITI Yupia, and Jesual Dongri, State Coordinator, IIE, Government of India.
Located in the ITO Building at Abotani Colony, this hub will provide training in diverse areas like Data Entry, Photography, Fashion Design and sessions on entrepreneurship, financial wisdom, and digital know-how.
"It's about arming our youth with skills across various fields, readying them for entrepreneurship adventures," said Lincoln. The training courses are short, making it convenient. Once finished, the government also extends loan support to some, helping them start their ventures.
Soon, 600 trainees will embark on their learning journey here, spanning fields like photography to electrical tasks. An immediate batch of 300 is all set to start.
Dongri shared the vision, echoing PM Modi's aspiration of having at least one skilled individual in every home. "This is the essence of Skill India," he remarked. 
Dongri also spotlighted a special 6-week course in Naharlagun. Tailored for female students and dropouts, it offers unique picks from baking to the art of making artisan pickles.
