Mokokchung, March 24 (EMN): A three-month free training course in tailoring, part of the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), a scheme of the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, was dedicated by pastor Rev. Ponen Longchar of the Mokokchung Town Baptist Church, on March 23 in Mokokchung.
The programme is being implemented in collaboration with the National Skill Development; Skill India; department of Employment, Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Nagaland; and TK Skills of Mokokchung.
Speaking at the programme, the reverend urged the trainees to become professional through the training opportunity. The world belongs to those who are dedicated and professional in their respective fields, he said.
Longchar said that the government cannot give employment to all. Therefore, he said, youths and students should become ‘masters of own skills’ and impart the skills and knowledge to the coming generation.
120 seats have been allotted for the first batch for the scheme. The learners will be trained by two master tailors.
