Jharkhand government is in talks with companies around the world for skill development of the state's youth, Chief Minister Raghubar Das said.
"In the knowledge-based age, degrees not only fetch jobs, but also a lesser educated person can get good opportunity if the person is skillful," an official release said, quoting Das.
The state government is working on a mission mode to encourage skill development, and is signing MoUs with global companies to encourage it, the release said yesterday.
The chief minister said a total 25,000 youths got jobs this year, and by January 12 next year, one lakh youth would be employed.
