Delhi cabinet nod for skill development centre

He said that in the first stage, “5,000 students will be trained in hospitality and tourism, retail merchandising, IT and IT-enabled services, accounts, banking and finance, food processing, logistics, electronics, production and manufacturing, automobile and health and wellness”.

Education department officials explained that the idea behind this was to increase chances of employability. Earlier, Sisodia had told The Indian Express, “We realised how the existing courses had been antiquated. There was an ITI centre teaching students to work with field marshal generators, for instance. We expect that with changes in technology, the next revolution will take away a number of jobs. We are looking to counter this.”
