Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today said around 1.25 lakh youths will be trained each year under the skill development programme launched by the government. He also announced to pass on one-month unemployment allowance of youths to the companies offering them employment.

Speaking at a function associated with the ongoing Haryana International Trade Expo (HITEX) here today, the CM said skill development was the most important tool to tackle the problem of growing unemployment. While it was not possible to provide government jobs to all, he said it was the skill that could open the doors of vast opportunities to them.

He said the government was ready to provide an incentive in the form of transferring the unemployment allowance of the youth (Rs 3,000) to the company, which gave him or her job. The allowance would be given for the month in which the employment was given.

Khattar said while a skill development university was being set up in the state, the government aimed to train as many as 1.25 lakh youth each year under its Skill Development Mission.

Industry Minister Vipul Goel said work on investment of Rs 1.5 lakh crore, against the total MoUs of Rs 6 lakh crore signed during ‘Happening Haryana’- Global Investors Summit organised in Gurugram last year, had already started. “Of the total 9,000 youths, who had got registered themselves on the Saksham Yuva Yojana portal of the state government, around 1,356 have got jobs,” he added.

Later, the CM, who travelled to Delhi by a Metro train from here, claimed that expansion of Metro network in parts of the state was on the cards. He said besides connecting Faridabad and Gurugram with a Metro network, efforts were on to connect Panchkula with Chandigarh and Kundli (Sonepat) with the national capital.
