Delhi to become a skill hub: Sheila

Aimed at making Delhi a skill hub, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today inaugurated a skill development centre at Vivek Vihar in east Delhi which has been set up with technical expertise and assistance from Singapore.
The permanent campus of the centre would be set up at Jonapur in South Delhi and it will impart skill development training on a par with the best of such institutes in the country, Dikshit said.
"This centre will have the capability of training approximately 15,000 youths per year and will contribute towards making Delhi a skill hub," she said.
"My government is committed to make it the best skill development centre in the country," she said.

Noting that the Delhi government has been making sincere efforts to improve skill development facilities, Dikshit said better skill development would result in better economic growth for the city.
"As India moves towards becoming a knowledge economy, it becomes increasingly important that its policies and programmes focus on skill development," she said.
Dikshit said her government has given a very high priority to address the challenge of skill development.
