On this occasion, he mentioned that due to the bifurcation of the state, it was decided to set up skill development centres across the state with the cooperation of various software companies. At the same time, engineering colleges across the state have to take a step and setup skills development centres in their colleges.

The engineering colleges must play a significant role in giving preference to skill development. Industries are looking for skilled workers. He further added that teaching material should be updated accordingly for this purpose.

There are around 350 engineering colleges in the state, and these colleges must cooperate with APSSDC in setting up these centres. Today, most of the youth lack skills and fail in interviews.
