The Uttar Pradesh Handloom and Textile Department has drafted a new skill development scheme aimed at training 1 lakh youth over the next 5 years. With 40% reservation for women, the program aligns with 700 investment proposals worth ₹10,784 crore received in the sector. The demand-based training will cover areas like garments, silk, and technical textiles. A digital platform will connect industries and trainees, and post-placement tracking for 6 months will ensure job stability. https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/state/uttar-pradesh/lucknow/up-textile-sector-employment-1-lakh-youth-training-5-years-40-persent-women/articleshow/132027842.cms #creator program
