Bhubaneswar: No district of Odisha has figured in the 2nd edition of Awards for Excellence in District Skill Development Planning (DSDP) that were presented in New Delhi on Thursday.
Union Minister of Education and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan presented the awards to top 30 districts for their innovative best practices in skill development in the region. Rajkot in Gujarat, Cachar in Assam and Satara in Maharashtra were ranked top three among all participating districts.
Pradhan asked the district collectors, magistrates and other officials to carry out demand-mapping of the skilled workforce and promote awareness about skill development initiatives at the local level. He said skilling is a lifelong process and the collectors should carry forward the momentum of skill development and work towards strengthening the skill development ecosystem through innovative planning at the district level.
Congratulating all participants, the Union Minister said all planning for skill development should have a link to the local economy and the way to an Aatmanirbhar Bharat is through building Atmanirbhar districts.
