According to him, under the new National Policy on Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship has emerged as one of the national priorities. Madhya Pradesh, through this centre, aims at establishing the infrastructure and capacity to support entrepreneurship development among youth.
Deepak Joshi, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Department of Technical Education & Skill Development, Government of Madhya Pradesh, who was present on the occassion, highlighted that the state in the last two years has taken up skill development in a mission mode. He also reportedly shared that the state will be training 7.5 lakh youth annually, of which a large proportion will be supported by this centre in entrepreneurship domain. According to him, the centre should focus its efforts in prioritising support to first generation entrepreneurs from the marginalised and economically weaker sections of the society. As reported, he also emphasised that this was an important step towards realising the Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan鈥檚 dream of transforming Madhya Pradesh into a state where youth aspires to become a job provider rather than a job seeker.
The first batch of ED Centre begins in February 2017.
