Lucknow, 14 July (HS): On the occasion of World Youth Skills

Day-2026, a grand state level program will be organized by Uttar Pradesh Skill

Development Mission, Department of Vocational Education, Skill Development and

Entrepreneurship on July 15 at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, Lucknow. In this

program to be chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, many ambitious schemes

related to skill development, employment, entrepreneurship and industries will

be launched. The objective of the program is to provide the youth of the state

with modern skills, better employment opportunities and new energy towards

self-reliance. State Minister (Independent Charge) of the Department of

Vocational Education, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Kapil Dev Agarwal

will be present in the program.

The program will begin with the Chief Minister inaugurating

and observing the Skill Development Exhibition. The exhibition will showcase

modern technologies, innovations, and skill-based products developed by various

training institutes, ITIs, and trainees. The Chief Minister will also interact

with the trainees and learn about their experiences. During the program,

several important MoUs will be signed with various prestigious industrial

institutions. These agreements aim to link the training system with the actual

needs of industries, increase employment opportunities, and provide better

placements to trained youth.

To strengthen digital governance, the Chief Minister will

launch the Kaushal Sarathi and Kaushal Setu modules.

The Kaushal Sarathi portal will provide year-wise details of all

training centers in the state online, while Kaushal Setu will make

the online onboarding of training providers more transparent, simple, and

technology-based. On this occasion, the Chief Minister will release the Kaushalam

booklet, which will compile the department's achievements, special campaigns,

and key initiatives related to skill development. An Employability and

Soft Skills Manual will also be released, which will help trainees

develop practical skills, personality development, and skills in line with

industry expectations.

The program will feature a special video film based on the

Earn While Learn scheme operated at government industrial training

institutes. Success stories of young people who have earned income while

receiving training will be presented. Five successful youth who have benefited

from various departmental schemes will share their experiences and explain how

skills training has transformed their lives and led them on the path to

employment, self-employment, and self-reliance.

At the event, 21 young icons who have secured high-paying

positions and demonstrated outstanding performance will be honored.

Additionally, representatives from state-run ITIs, training providers, and

project implementation agencies who have performed exceptionally well will also

be honored. In the closing session, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will provide

guidance to youth on skills development, employment, innovation, startups, and

their role in building a self-reliant India.
