Maharashtra To Train 1 Lakh Youths Yearly Through Home-District Apprenticeship
Last Updated: Officials say the decision will not only reduce the burden of relocation but also strengthen the connection between local talent and industries In a major boost for skill development and employment, Maharashtra's Skill, Employment, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha has directed that students from Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) be provided apprenticeship opportunities within their home districts. This move is expected to help thousands of students gain hands-on experience while staying close to their families. Officials say the decision will not only reduce the burden of relocation but also strengthen the connection between local talent and industries. Students will now be able to work and earn a stipend through apprenticeship programmes in industries operating in their own regions. Under the Maharashtra Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme, the state aims to train around one lakh candidates every year. Industries with 30 or more employees (including contractual staff) are now required to offer apprenticeship positions equal to 2.5% to 25% of their total workforce. Currently, the scheme covers 258 designated trades in 27 sectors and 414 optional trades in 35 sectors. In addition, 123 professions under the Maharashtra State Skill Development Examination Board and 20 others in six sectors have also been included. Depending on the trade, apprenticeship duration can range from 6 to 36 months. Both freshers and previously trained candidates will benefit from this initiative. To ensure quality training, government, semi-government, and private institutions are being encouraged to increase apprenticeship intakes. The curriculum of ITIs is also being reviewed regularly so more trades can be brought under this scheme. As per government norms, institutions offering basic training will receive the necessary reimbursements. Students have already welcomed the move. Many ITI students across the state have expressed satisfaction at getting a chance to learn and work without leaving their hometowns. Lodha is also actively working to restore apprentice recruitment in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). Earlier, about 200 ITI students were appointed annually in BMC departments, but this practice had stopped in recent years. The minister has written to the BMC Commissioner to restart this initiative, and similar efforts are underway in other municipal corporations across the state. First Published:

Initiative to connect youth with industry
New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Friday launched an initiative to directly connect youth with industry through Delhi's Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). Delhi govt signed three-year memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with four industry partners to ensure not only technical education but also vocational excellence, hands-on training with modern industrial equipment and robust employment opportunities. On this occasion, Gupta emphasised that the youth of Delhi are the driving force behind nation-building. "We must equip them with skill-based training, not just degrees, so they can excel in both employment and entrepreneurship," she said. The MoUs were signed with Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL), Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd (SMIPL), Quest Alliance and Hettich Power Wood Working Institute (HPWWI). Providing further details, the CM shared that students in various ITIs across Delhi will now receive direct, advanced and practical training aligned with industry standards. HPWWI will offer free technical training under Wood Working Technician Trade (formerly Carpenter Trade) at ITIs in Jail Road and Nand Nagri. This will include tools, equipment, specialised instructor training and on-the-job experience. Similarly, SMIPL will establish a state-of-the-art training centre at ITI Jahangirpuri for trades such as two-wheeler repair, welding, and robotics, while also developing necessary infrastructure under its corporate social responsibility initiative. Quest Alliance will provide training in career awareness, employability skills, and soft skills, with a special focus on encouraging female students to take up non-traditional trades like welding and fitting.
