Kerala Labour and Skills Minister T P Ramakrishnan on Saturday said there is a need to promote a culture where students earn while studying and to this end will soon bring out a state Skills Policy.
"Kerala will soon bring out a state Skills Policy and also a Career Policy considering the recent surge in the importance of technology in the new age," he said here at the inaugural of India Skills Kerala 2020, an endeavour to showcase the technical proficiency of the youth.
"We must promote a culture where students earn while studying. The state needs its youth in educational institutions to do part-time jobs," the Minister added.
He said the government had initiated several skill development programmes and added, "India Skills Kerala is part of that mission."
