Noida, July 26 (KNN) A skill development centre near the upcoming Noida International Airport in Jewar has received a green signal from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The decision to setup the skill centre aligns with the state governments views of making Noida region as a global investment hub in the future by building the proposed Jewar international airport to develop connectivity.

The state government has allotted 8,700 sqm of land for the proposed centre in Sector 31 of the Yamuna Expressway Authority area. The department of vocational and skill development is responsible for building the centre.

The approval for the centre comes days after Jewar got its first co-ed degree college, while another degree college, exclusively for women, is going to be ready by July 2023.

The primary objective of yogi administration is to provide vocational training related to aviation, apparel and upcoming industries in the region and also to help facilitate start-ups.

“I had been raising the demand for a proper skill development centre in the Jewar area since 2020 for training the local youth. But the state skill development department did not take it forward due to the pandemic. I took up the matter with CM Yogi on Saturday and he immediately agreed,” Jewar MLA Dhirendra Singh told TOI.

While plans are to have different vocational training at the centre for the local youth, the final details of the same will be prepared once the centre is ready to cater to the specific requirements of the industry in the region.  (KNN Bureau)
