Hyderabad In line with the commitment of Telangana government to foster skilled labour, the State plans to provide skill training to the youth through the Skill Development Center established at Dandu Malkapur Industrial Park, said Telangana Industries Minister K T Rama Rao.

KTR on Tuesday inaugurated the Telangana Industrialists Federation’s (TIF) Skill Development Center and Common Facility Centre at TIF MSME Green Industrial Park in Dandu Malkapur. Telangana Energy Minister G Jagadish Reddy was also present. The ministers also inaugurated 51 industrial units (MSMEs), Industrial Area Local Authority office, and Telangana Industrialists Federation’s office.

“Telangana’s increased IT exports demonstrate the State’s achievements. As the government is committed to foster skilled labour, our plan is to provide skill training to thousands of youth,” KTR said.

He also emphasised the significant advancements made by Telangana in the areas of environment and industry. The State has witnessed comprehensive, equitable, and inclusive development, becoming an example for others to follow. Telangana takes pride in its transparency when it comes to setting up industries, surpassing even some international standards. The State’s TS i-Pass system has streamlined the process, granting permissions within 15 days, a feat applauded by industrialists who mentioned that such efficiency is uncommon, even in the United States, KTR added.

The Minister highlighted about the Haritaharam programme, which stands as the second-largest afforestation programme, according to the government. Telangana’s commitment to sustainability has garnered accolades, with its villages receiving 30 national-level awards for rural governance, and towns also being recognised on a national level, he said. The Minister commended Chief Minister KCR for his forward-thinking approach and dedication to the betterment of future generations. KTR acknowledged that the work accomplished in the past nine years under Chief Minister KCR’s leadership surpasses the progress made in the previous six decades. The Kaleshwaram project, praised by American engineers, stands as a testament to Telangana’s excellence and is an honour for the State, KTR said.
