"The skill development centre has been set up in collaboration with Don Bosco Tech Society which has started courses in air-conditioning, electrical technician and computer training. Steps have been taken to ensure jobs after training", he added.

The skill development centre has already started functioning with the first batch of 90 candidates and will be formally inaugurated by Skill Development Minister Dr Ashwath Narayan on September 30.
