TURA, March13 – Union Minister of State for Rural Development, Agatha K Sangma, on Sunday inaugurated the first-ever Bosco Academy for Skills and Employment (BASE) at Tura Don Bosco School that will provide special technical training to as many as 6,000 youth from the rural areas of Garo Hills.
The programme is funded by the Union Ministry for Rural Development under the Swarnajayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojana (SGSY) which aims to provide employment-linked, market-oriented training to youngsters in the age group of 18 to 35 years from below the poverty line families. Inaugurating the training academy, the Union Minister of State exhorted the youth to make full utilisation of the opportunity to avail the training programme.
“This training programme is funded by the Rural Development Ministry and is free of cost. I urge upon the youth to take advantage of it because we need to absorb the youth into the employment sector,” mentioned Agatha.
Mentioning in brief the importance of inclusive growth she said China is forging ahead due to its booming manufacturing industry. She added that our country has also taken up the challenge and has even diversified into other sectors of employment such as Business Processing and Outsourcings (BPOs), marketing, tourism and health sectors.
Under this SGSY special project, the Union Rural Development Ministry has granted four projects to Don Bosco Tech (DB Tech) to train several thousand youth of the country. In the east and North East sector Meghalaya is one of the eight States to get selected. Jowai, Shillong, Umran and Mendal are the centres which will be run by DB Tech.
Earlier, the Assistant Director of DB Tech, Fr Raju Philip, gave a brief report on the project. “The project will target the marginalised youth, the downtrodden who do not get an opportunity to avail any employment generation training,” he said. The assistant director further went on to mention that since the start of the project in May, last year, over 8,000 youth have been trained with 85 per cent of them getting employment through placements. He urged upon the rural youth to get themselves registered at the nearest Don Bosco Centre.
DB Tech will initially provide training in four categories of jobs – tourism, security, hospitality and marketing with basic skills in computers. In the hospitality sector detailed training will be given to the selected members in the food and beverages wing. Each course will be of three month duration with no provision of stipend or scholarship.
