National Skill Development Council by August
Staff Reporter
CHENNAI: The National Skill Development Council, constituted by the Centre to set up skill development centres across the country, will start functioning by August, Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said on Sunday.
The council will be a not-for-profit organisation and based on a public-private partnership model. Fifty-one per cent of the equity will be held by the private sector.
In the Union budget, Rs. 1,000 crore has been allotted for the council, and Rs. 15,000 crore will be raised through the partners, he said, speaking at a function organised to celebrate the Doctors’ Day by the Apollo Hospitals Group.
He said that 10 sectors had been identified for skill development training. This initiative would help to address the lack of skilled workers in industries, including healthcare.
Namperumalsamy of Arvind Eye Hospital and Kousalya Devi of Kasturba Hospital, Gandhi Gram, Dindigul, were honoured.
