We are pleased with the government's emphasis on providing opportunities for skill development and employability in the budget. The Prime Minister's package of 5 schemes and initiatives to facilitate employment, skilling and other opportunities for 4.1 crore youth over 5 years with a central outlay of ₹2 lakh crores is really inspiring . The Govt has made a provision of ₹1.48 lakh crores for education, employment and skilling taking one more step towards development and success. The emphasis on vocational training and apprenticeships is particularly noteworthy, as it will enable practical, hands-on experience that aligns with industry demands. Furthermore, the allocation of resources for digital skill training will ensure that our workforce remains competitive in an increasingly digital global economy. Overall, this budget reflects a forward-thinking approach to building a resilient and skilled workforce, which is essential for the sustained growth and prosperity of our country. We are optimistic that these measures will yield significant benefits and look forward to their successful implementation."
