(Independent Charge) for Vocational Education, Skill Development, and

Entrepreneurship, the grand India Skills National Competition

2025-26 is being organized in Greater Noida.

country in the field of skill development. Events like the IndiaSkills

National Competition provide youth with a national and international

performed excellently in the regional competitions held in various states, in

which many participants brought laurels to the state by winning medals. The

youth, educational institutions and training centres of the state have been

appealed to actively participate in this event, so that more and more youth can

take advantage of this platform of skill development and contribute in building

a self-reliant India.
