Union Rural Development Minister Choudhary Birendra Singh today said the youth working under MG-NREGA schemes would be provided skill training in the Centre's endeavour to eradicate poverty.
"Unskilled youth work in schemes under MG-NREGA. Instead of creating a mindset in them of getting only 100 days job (in a year), they will be imparted skill training to connect them in the organized sector," Singh said here.
Addressing the function on the Deen Dayal Upadhaya Grameen Kaushal Yozana (DDU-GKY), he said several issues, including naxalism, would be solved through poverty eradication programmes.
"This can be a revolutionary initiative in eradicating poverty," he said adding that skill training would be imparted to a total 27 lakh youth in Jharkhand.
