Telangana government is committed to transforming the state into the “Skill Capital of the Globe,” said Minister for IT and Industries D Sridhar Babu while launching the "Mega Job, Skill Loan Mela" at PG Law College, Basheerbagh, here on Monday.

This initiative was co-hosted by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship from the Government of India and the Department of Employment and Training from the Government of Telangana. He urged the Union Minister to extend support for the development of the prestigious Young India Skill University, an ambitious initiative launched by the state to empower youth through industry-aligned skill education.

“Our youth are Telangana’s greatest strength. Yet, many still lack the industry-ready skills needed in today’s evolving job market. Our government under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has identified the skill gap between academia and industry and is actively working to bridge it," Sridhar Babu said.

“We believe in inclusive governance. We are designing curriculum in collaboration with industry leaders and domain experts. As a result, nearly 80 per cent of students trained through our Skill University programs have already secured employment," he said. Encouraging the youth, the Minister remarked: “Each of you has immense potential. Evolve with the times, embrace new technologies, and stay resilient. Every setback is a step towards your goal,".

Sridhar Babu extended a personal invitation to Jayant Chaudhary to visit the Young India Skill University and reiterated Telangana’s willingness to work in close alignment with the Centre to enhance skill development across the nation. The event was attended by MP R. Krishnaiah, MLC Anji Reddy, TGMDCL Chairman Anil Kumar, former MLC Kapilavai Dilip Kumar and other dignitaries.
