Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister for Education, highlighted that a significant percentage of India’s labour force is engaged in the ICT sector, but the representation of women remains notably low. These Career Certificates and scholarships aim to motivate and empower women to venture into various technological domains. Businesses, employees, and students must swiftly adapt to the rapidly changing technological landscape, which is a fundamental requirement for numerous contemporary roles. These programs furnish individuals with an elementary foundation in their preferred areas. The self-paced courses are designed to cater to countless professionals and students looking to amplify their income by capitalizing on their leisure hours after work or academic pursuits. He ardently urged everyone to embrace this initiative.
“Opportunities in Information Technology (IT) possess immense potential to mitigate youth unemployment in the state," he emphasized.
