Focus is on skill development and job creation, says Dinakar
Andhra Pradesh government is ramping up skill development initiatives in coordination with industries, MSMEs, and Society for Employment Generation and Enterprise Development in Andhra Pradesh (SEEDAP) to generate large-scale employment across the State. 20-Point Programme Chairperson Lanka Dinakar, MSME Chairperson Siva Sankara Rao Tammireddy, and SEEDAP Chairperson Deepak Reddy Gunapati addressed the media at the Secretariat on Monday, after review meeting. Mr. Dinakar highlighted that the coalition government had attracted investments worth around ₹9.3 lakh crore in its first year and was working with the goal of creating 20 lakh jobs in five years. Emphasising the need for synergy among departments, he said coordination gaps in the past had hindered job creation, which would now be addressed through collaborative efforts. He noted that Andhra Pradesh had over 8 lakh MSMEs. He also observed that the MSMEs have been contributing 30% to India's GDP. Mr. Siva Sankara Rao stressed the importance of revamping MSMEs and setting up MSME parks, particularly in backward districts like Alluri Sitharama Raju and Parvathipuram Manyam, to provide skill-based jobs to local youth. Mr. Deepak Reddy announced plans to train 60,000 youth this year through SEEDAP's expanding network of training centres and promote entrepreneurship at the grassroots level, aligned with the 'Swarnandhra 2047' vision.

Speaking at a press conference held here on Wednesday, Deepak Reddy stated that free skill development training will be provided to unemployed SC youth and women, along with job opportunities. As part of this initiative, free skill development training will be offered through LIDCAP. Trainees will be provided with free meals, accommodation, and other facilities during the training, and employment opportunities will be arranged afterward. SEEDAP has signed agreements with 46 agencies and will provide training at 92 centers. He also noted that leather used internationally is exported from Andhra Pradesh. LIDCAP chairman Pilli Manikyala Rao stated that the coalition government is taking steps for the development of leather workers. This project has been undertaken to provide free training to improve the livelihoods of unemployed SC youth in the leather-related industry sector. He said that the LIDCAP has signed an agreement with SEEDAP to provide free training to unemployed SC youth allocating Rs 1 crore for this purpose. Free training will be provided to youth to manufacture footwear, belts, and shoes using modern machinery. All government departments, utilising leather products, such as belts and shoes for the police department, leather bags for RTC conductors, and other leather goods, are required to procure them from LIDCAP. Manikyala Rao urged SC youth to make the most of this free training which provide free accommodation, and travel expenses will be provided to candidates. SEEDAP will spend Rs 32,000 per candidate to provide free training. Leather-based manufacturing units are being established in Giddaluru and J Konduru. He noted that Andhra Pradesh used to be the leader in leather industry products, but due to the negligence of the previous government, Tamil Nadu has taken the top spot.
