Mysuru: MP Pratap Simha called upon the youth to chalk out a bright future by utilising various programmes which the Centre has designed for the youth.
He was speaking after inaugurating a new Nehru Yuva Kendra Hall at Vishweshwaranagar and the District Youth Convention and Cultural Programme, here yesterday. Instead of being influenced completely by social media and the internet, youth should learn to discriminate and use only the good side of it and shape their lives, he said.
Every year two crore youth are entering the job market. The Centre realising this has opened Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) Training Centres all over the State including Mysuru. Skill Development training is also being imparted and youth should utilise this, he said.
Under the MUDRA scheme, loans are being provided to start small businesses, apart from loans to Scheduled Caste under Start-up India scheme. The youth can also make use of these schemes, he said.
On the occasion, 175 youth, who were given training in stitching, embroidery and beautician courses in Nehru Yuvaka Kendra, were distributed certificates.
‘Nannawwa’ cultural troupe of Yachenahalli in T. Narasipur taluk was presented the District’s Best Youth Association Award which carries a cash prize of Rs.25,000 and a citation.
