Delhi Skill University to Setup Centres to Skill Kids in Slum Clusters
News 18The Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University along with a Pune-based organisation will set up centres near slum clusters here to help youngsters develop skills for better employability, according to a statement issued by the Delhi government on Wednesday. “Through the ’lighthouse intervention’, youth in low-income or slum communities will be able to make more informed life choices and acquire necessary skills for improved employability,” it said. In Pune, the project has successfully placed or facilitated self-employment of 5,500 youths from disadvantaged communities since the first ’lighthouse’ was set up in June 2016, the statement said. “The successful public-private partnership model established in Pune by Lighthouse Communities, and the Delhi government’s vision of an integrated livelihood ecosystem in the city, have been key in the culmination of this partnership,” she said.
