USPA NEWS - The Minister of State for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (Independent Charge) and Parliamentary Affairs, Mr. Rajiv Pratap Rudy inaugurate the Skill Development Centre made out of containers, in New Delhi on August 11, 2015.
Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Mr. Rajiv Pratap Rudy inaugurated the Skill Development Centre made out of containers. Four containers are exhibited at 6 Rajaji Marg, New Delhi on August 11.

Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said, the main idea behind this exhibition is to popularize the concept of using Container class rooms in order to save time and money and focus more on skill training, so that the mission of Skill India becomes a success.

Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Mr. Sunil Arora said, this is a novel experiment and has the potential to transform the skilling landscape. These Containers Skill Centres have created an extremely innovative model for skilling people.
The Skill Development Centre made out of containers was shown first to the Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi on the occasion of the launch of Skill India on 15th July, 2015. The Prime Minister had lauded this effort and especially mentioned about the usefulness of this model in his address to the gathering on launching of Skill India Campaign.

There is great enthusiasm amongst the training ecosystem for this model. Several Union Ministers and about 40 Members of Parliament have visited the demonstration Container Skill centres at Rajaji Marg and have shown deep interest on the inaugural day.
Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship is committed to replicate this model on a large scale to reach out and provide skill training in locations where adequate skill training facilities do not exist. NSDC has already floated an expression of interest to invite vendors who could fabricate and refurbish used containers for use as skill centres.

This concept of Container Skill Centres is being taken forward by Safeducate, the training partner of National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) under the aegis of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana launched by Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship.
