He said, the government wants to provide skill training to school drop-outs to make them employable.<br/><br/>Mr Rudy also said, the government has made changes in the standards of skilling and the certificates which will be awarded to the trainees after completion of the skill training in various streams will have international recognition.

He said, the current allocation is inadequate to meet the skill training goal of the government. He also demanded constitution of Standing Committee on Skill Development Ministry which has so far not been established. He also stressed on the need of opening of more ITIs in various States to impart skill training to the youth.
