Further, an HT report said that the ministry has taken this decision in consultation with the Prime Minister's Office.
Moreover, while explaining the need for the government to engage academic institutes for "analytical study," Manish Kumar, the corporation's CEO and managing director in recent HT report said, "We would like to know the number of youths trained so far and whether these schemes have been able to bring any change in their lives and upgrade their living standards."
"We have asked these institutions to do an in-depth research and provide information about the results and effects of skill development plans. With this we will get to know the gaps that can be bridged," Kumar added.
