NEW DELHI: “If you cannot skill India, you will kill India”, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said Monday, stressing unemployment was the biggest problem facing the country.
He was speaking at the first anniversary celebrations of ‘Yuva’, a Delhi Police initiative in association with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to equip vulnerable youth, especially those from the underprivileged sections of the society.
The Delhi Police organised a ‘Mega Job Fair’ at the Siri Fort auditorium which was attended by Rijiju and Delhi LG Anil Baijal.
Rijiju said the skill development of vulnerable youth on this scale by the Delhi Police, which has never been done previously by any state police in the country, sets an example for other state police units.
“Unemployment is the biggest problem facing our country. If you cannot skill India, you will kill India. If we do not skill the youth, they will become a liability and might take a wrong path,” he said.
This initiative would not only provide jobs, but also life to the youth, who were either victims of crime or in conflict with the law, especially those from underprivileged sections of the society, Rijiju said. (AGENCIES)
