While addressing the crowd at Kaushal Mahotsav, Dharmendra Pradhan said, “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the unemployment rate has decreased from 6% to 3.2% which brings us closer to our dream of providing jobs to crores of youth a reality. The recent launch of Skill India Digital (SID) aims at building a robust skilling infrastructure which is providing job assistance to 22,000 state beneficiaries. Over the last five-year, the Skill India programmes like Kaushal Mahotsav, have empowered youth in the state.”
