New Delhi: Government is planning to use existing infrastructure of closed AICTE-affiliated engineering colleges or polytechnics for skill development training programmes. In a statement, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Minister (MSDE) Rajiv Pratap Rudy said, “The ministry is working meticulously with All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to utilise the existing spare infrastructure/ capacities of AICTE-approved engineering colleges/polytechnics for conducting" skill training courses.”
National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) compliant courses under the National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) will be conducted under the Pradhan Mantri Vikas Yojna, added Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Minister (MSDE) Rudy. Already closed engineering colleges/polytechnics may apply directly for affiliation to run the courses, Rudy said.
