Initiatives like these will equip the youth here with relevant skills making them employable and fulfil their aspirations.”

“This is a highly ambitious gas pipeline project aiming to provide piped cooking (PNG) gas to residents of the eastern region of the country and CNG gas for the vehicles. It is a major step towards collective growth and development of the region. The project will require skilled hands to execute it effectively. This partnership with the players working in this field will provide the youth with industry relevant skills needed for this project making them employable,” Shri Pradhan further added.
