In push for employment generation, Modi govt mulls migration support centres, rural self-employment training institutes

Firstpost  

Execution of projects to impart training and provide employment to youth has been slow due to the indifferent attitude of the local machinery. New Delhi: According to sources, the central government has proposed around ten model migration support centres across the country after studying the exodus pattern from villages to the big cities. Sources said that Bihar, which is led by Nitish Kumar, tops the list of states that could not utilise the central funds released in the last two years meant for training and placement of rural youth, followed by Andhra Pradesh. While former Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu had attacked the first Modi-led government over unemployment, he was sitting on central funds to the tune of Rs 180 crore for job creation. That is why the focus is also on rural self-employment training institutes across the country, and extending credit-linked subsidy programmes.
