Lucknow,

26 May (HS): Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Yogi

government is continuously giving new dimensions to skill development and

technical education to accelerate the goal of making Uttar Pradesh a $1

trillion economy. In this sequence, in a high-level review meeting chaired by

Kapil Dev Agarwal, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Department of

Vocational Education, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, on Monday, global

consulting company Deloitte and leading technology company Tata Technology

presented a detailed presentation of the future roadmap and plans being

prepared for the youth of the state.

At

the meeting, representatives from Tata Technologies shared progress on

modernizing the state's state-run Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and

developing them into Centers of Excellence (CoEs). The presentation highlighted

that youth are being trained to meet current and future industry needs using

modern machinery, e-learning platforms, automation, and Industry 4.0

technologies, enabling them to gain employment not only nationally but also

internationally.

Meanwhile,

Deloitte experts presented on the strategic role of skill development and vocational

education in making Uttar Pradesh a $1 trillion economy. Analyzing future job

trends, industry demand, and investment-led job creation models, Deloitte

recommended that skill development plans be directly linked to industrial

investment and new technologies, creating more employment and self-employment

opportunities for youth.

During

the meeting, Minister Kapil Dev Agarwal stated that in line with Chief Minister

Yogi Adityanath's vision, the expertise of global institutions will be fully

leveraged to transform Uttar Pradesh into an economic powerhouse. He added that

the collaboration of institutions like Tata Technologies and Deloitte will play

a crucial role in providing world-class training and employment opportunities

to the state's youth.

He

directed the officials to expeditiously implement the action plans and

suggestions presented by both the institutions on the ground, so that every

youth of Uttar Pradesh can become self-reliant by being equipped with modern

skills and can play an active role in the economic progress of the state.

The

meeting also emphasized that skill development programs will be made more

effective through a public-private partnership (PPP) model. The Yogi

government's goal is to develop the state's youth not just as degree holders

but as industry-ready professionals, enabling Uttar Pradesh to emerge as the

nation's largest skill capital.
