As per the information received, the local admins will have to assist the Union Government by looking into the skill gaps, assessing the skill-demands, mobilization/counseling of candidates, creation of placement/apprentices’ opportunities, and so on. “You cannot do everything from Delhi and the move is well thought through,” said Praveen Kumar, secretary MSDE.
