This year’s competition is unique, as for the first time we have collaborated with 22 state governments who have organized district and state level skill competitions in their respective states and have supported us in training the winners for the National competition. We are optimistic that the finalists this year will truly raise the bar and bring laurels to the country at the WorldSkills next year.”

It’s a great achievement for all the participants who are representing their states at IndiaSkills 2018. Competition like these will help youth benchmark their skills against their peers in other states in India and those around the world, which will us, improve the overall standards of vocational training in India.”
