The Central Railway Workshop on Manandavadi Road in Mysuru is among the 75 railway institutes across the country chosen to train 50,000 youths across the country over the next three years in industry-relevant skills under the recently launched Rail Kaushal Vikas Yojana of the Indian Railways.
Under the Rail Kaushal Vikas Yojana, launched by Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday, training will be provided to 1,000 candidates initially in four trades – electrician, welder, machinist, and fitter. The initial basic training will be spread across 100 hours. “Training programmes in other trades will be added zonal railways and production units based on regional demands and needs assessment,” said a press statement issued by South Western Railways.
Training will be provided free of cost and participants will be selected from applications received online, following a transparent mechanism on the basis of marks in matriculation, the statement said.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
