Maharashtra Govt to Upgrade ITIs with Private Sector Partnerships
The Maharashtra government wants to make its training schools (ITIs) better to teach people skills for jobs like solar energy and electric vehicles.
They're asking companies to help upgrade the schools.
The government has a plan where companies can invest money to improve the schools and teach new skills.
This helps students learn what employers need.
Many companies are interested in helping, and a special group called MITRA will help make this happen.
This is all to make sure young people in Maharashtra can get good jobs in the future.
Maharashtra government is seeking private sector help to upgrade Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs).
The initiative aims to equip youth with skills for new sectors like solar energy and electric vehicles.
Industries, associations, PSUs, and NGOs can adopt ITIs under the new policy.
MITRA will act as a strategic partner for implementation of the policy.
The policy launch was announced at a seminar by the skill development minister.
