We need to go back to our roots and find our natural skills that will make us more efficient in our work life. We all know that applied knowledge is the most relevant knowledge to gain.”

MSDE also announced the launch of National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) in BFSI Sector and along with candidates receiving their apprenticeship letters at the gathering.

On the occasion, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) announced a national training Programme to certify GST practitioners under its flagship scheme of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY). This would facilitate the country’s transition to the new tax regime seamless and convenient. A total of 100 GST training centres across the nation were launched along with the training curriculum.

Smriti Zubin Irani, Minister for Health and Family Welfare Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda, Minister for Rural Development, Panchayati Raj, Drinking and Water Sanitation Shri Narendra Singh Tomar and Minister for Water Resources and River Development ajd Ganga Rejuvenation Sushri Uma Bharati.
