The busses known as “skills o wheels” will be equipped with computer tools and trainers to impart the necessary skills.
New Delhi: Union Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan has launched the “Kaushal Rath”, a specialised bus for providing skill training and certificate programs. The bus will function in the Sambalpur, Angul, and Deogarh districts in Odisha.
The “skills on wheels” initiative has been taken in collaboration with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and IndusInd Bank. It aims to provide accessible and hands-on skill training to foster growth and innovation in alignment with the ‘Skill India Mission”
Under this scheme, 60,000 youth will be empowered over a period of five years and will be equipped with computers, tools, facilities, and certified trainers. According to the official press release, “These buses, equipped with cutting-edge tools, facilities, and professional trainers, will provide training and certification in a variety of course modules, including digital literacy, financial literacy, retail and entrepreneurial skills, and others,”.
Speaking at the launch, Dharmendra Pradhan said: “As AI and ML grow more prevalent in our daily lives, it is essential that we educate our children in digital literacy and financial literacy so that they may succeed in the world of digital financial services. Furthermore, with the country rapidly transitioning to a formidable digital payment ecosystem, as seen by India's dominance in accounting for Rs 45 out of every Rs 100 in digital transactions, our local youth must be well-versed in digital literacy and modern technology.”
