Launching Skill India International Centre, World Skills Academy and National Academy for Skill Teachers at Skill Development Institute (SDI), here, Pradhan said, “The initiatives would not only open up overseas job opportunities for our youth, but also go a long way in creating a world-class workforce equipped with the right skills to overcome global challenges and drive the future of work.”

More synergies between natural resources and talented human capital will boost the per capita economic productivity and ensure dignified livelihood opportunities for the people and accelerate economic growth, he said.
