The government plans to set up 150 Kaushalya Vardhan Kendras across the state.
The state government plans to get 1 lakh skilled manpower in rural areas through its Kaushalya Vardhan Kendra (KVK). This was revealed by labour and employment minister Vajubhai Vala on Wednesday in Gandhinagar during a series of presentations made by different state government departments as part of the Golden Goals for Swarnim Gujarat celebrations.
Vala projected KVKs as an innovative move of the state government. Giving more details, RM Jadav, director of labour and employment department said that initially 150 KVKs will be set up, where local youth, women, artisans, school dropouts and those willing to learn skills will be given training as per industries' needs. We are focusing to train 1 lakh people through various short term courses, which will be run by KVKs.
There will be a KVK each for a cluster of 6-7 villages and the nearest Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) will monitor these KVKs. After the training, those participating in the programme will be given certificates of Gujarat Council of Vocational Training (GCVT) and National Council of Vocational Training (NCVT), he said. Officers of state's agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries departments also gave presentations on various schemes of their respective departments.
Dileep Sanghani, the agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries minister of the state was questioned by the media on the growth rate in the agriculture sector.
Sanghani had claimed that agriculture growth rate has seen a rise while the figures submitted by the agriculture department to the planning commission showed a clear decline in the same.
In fact, Sanghani was informed by the media that a recent press release by the agriculture department states that cotton production in the state will be less compared to last year. This year the production is likely to be 78.75 lakh bales compared to last years 79.62 lakh bales.
