Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to inaugurate the ambitious PM internship scheme to skill 10 million youth in five years on 2 December in the capital, connecting a large workforce with the largest of Indian businesses, two persons familiar with the development said.
The scheme is expected to be kicked off formally from the Bharat Mandapam convention centre. Modi is expected to hand out some of the initial placements at the event, said one of the two persons quoted above.
Leading businesses have so far listed over 125,000 internship opportunities in the dedicated portal for the scheme set up by the ministry of corporate affairs. The largest number of offers are in energy, automotive, travel and hospitality, manufacturing, and banking and financial services, data on the portal shows.
When launching new schemes, Modi usually interacts with some of the beneficiaries and takes their feedback on the scheme. Modi also usually takes the opportunity to give his vision on the issue the scheme seeks to address.
