"Ever since the launch of the Skill India Mission, we have also used the Yatra as a platform to propagate the various initiatives being introduced by the Government under this scheme,” he added

He further said “In order  to make India realize our Prime Minister’s dream of making India the skill capital of the world, awareness needs to be created and skills need to be developed even in the remotest corners of the country.
