Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday emphasised the centrality of skill development in building a self-reliant India, as he launched two significant national schemes focused on education and vocational training for youth.

Speaking at a national convocation ceremony for Industrial Training Institute (ITI) students, PM Modi said the event reflected "how much importance India gives to skills". He also inaugurated 1,200 skill labs across Navodaya Vidyalayas and Eklavya Model Schools and introduced the PM SETU Scheme, aimed at connecting ITIs directly with industries.

“Today, two more major schemes have been launched, and with the PM SETU Scheme worth thousands of crores, our ITIs will now be directly and strongly linked with industries,” said the Prime Minister.
