Asian Development Bank (ADB) has decided to give around Rs 1,500 crore ($ 240 million) for skill development in Madhya Pradesh.
“ADB has cleared our proposal for grant of Rs 1,500 crore for skilling in the state,” MP Technical and Higher Education Minister Umashankar Gupta told reporters here.
He said that 906 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) were operational in the state.
Gupta said that with the help of NABARD loan, 96 ITIs with an investment of Rs 189.11 crore are to be set up.
“We are developing infrastructure in skilling,” the Minister said adding that steps are underway to develop ITIs by Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode.
In 86 out of 313 blocks in MP, there is neither any government nor private ITI, he said.
“Efforts are underway to establish ITIs in these areas in PPP mode as per the policy of the department,” the Minister said.
