Governor Mangubhai Patel has said that it is necessary to keep skill upgradation and training in line with the ever-changing economic and social conditions, so that training remains relevant to the industry and communities. He told the trainees not to wait for jobs, strive towards self-employment.
Governor Patel was addressing the closing ceremony of vocational training programme sponsored by Madhya Pradesh Employment and Training Council at Samanvay Bhavan. Certificates were also distributed as a token to 25 participants by the Governor in the programme. It is noteworthy that the three-month technical and vocational residential training was conducted by the Centre for Research and Industrial Staff Performance (CRISP). 237 youths from Scheduled Caste families living below the poverty line from different districts participated in the training programme.
Patel said that it is necessary to encourage the entrepreneurship of the youth to build a self-reliant India. Financial institutions should co-operate as facilitators in the entrepreneurship efforts of the youth. He asked the trainees to use the acquired skills for self-employment. In this way, we will be able to provide employment to other people as well. He said that starting a business requires knowledge, skill and morale, not much experience and money.
Success in self-employment simply requires learning essential things and it's application to work. Governor Patel said that it is the responsibility of the youth to help the deprived, poor and senior citizens of the society. He told the youth to never forget the sacrifices and devotion of the parents in life. Do not do any work in life, which will bring shame on the motherland.
