GANGTOK, June 10: State HRD Minister NK Pradhan today assured that proper education would be provided to those who are deprived of good education.
Inaugurating the Livelihood School for Retail Management for Arithang Constituency here today, Mr. Pradhan, who is also the Chairman of State Board for Livelihood School said the Government has propounded the concept of livelihood schools in the country to make the younger generation capable and produce a complete work force of technically sound and skilled individuals. “Under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Pawan Chamling, the State Government has targeted every youth to be self dependent, capable of living a respectable life and capable in every aspect,” he said adding that the thrust would be on technical education.
Stating that Government wanted disciplined, qualitative, skilled, educated, technically sound and determined youths, the minister said livelihood schools were in the process of commencement in all the 31 constituencies of the State.
“Our youths have plenty of talents but in absence of proper guidance and exposure, they cannot showcase their talents,” he said. At the same time, Mr. Pradhan urged students of his constituency to give up the mentality of running after easy money and white colour jobs and opt for technical education and be self employed.
Explaining the reason behind choosing Retail Management for his constituency youth, the minister said that there was immense scope for retail market. “Around 80-90 percent youths will be given placements after undergoing the trainings,” he informed.
Under Retail management, 50 students, mainly locals are enrolled at Arithang Constituency with five instructors. The students will be given a stipend of Rs. 2500 per month, Chief Administrator of State Board of Livelihood School SD Dhakal informed. He further informed that the faculties will be given trainings at SIRD complex, Karfectar, Jorethang by the resource persons.
In his introductory note, Mr Dhakal said, “Retail management will be tomorrow’s market and under the training every aspect of retail management will be taught to the participants who start from small retail knowledge to big mall management. Livelihood management schools on animal husbandry, horticulture, fashion designing, computer software and hardware and many more are in the pipeline,” he informed.
A thousand students will be given training within a time period of one year to six months, it was informed. “Large corporate houses have entered the retail market and if India maintains the present growth, it will be the third developed country by 2032 after USA and China, Mr. Dhakal said adding “our government has the foresight and the vision and wants to provide every opportunity to the people, for which livelihood schools have been started for every constituency.”
