To upgrade our youth power according to Industry 4.0, our government has today signed an MoU worth more than five thousand crores with Tata Technologies to upgrade 150 ITIs in the state.

Upgrade your skills with time: Chief Minister Yogi
He said that this MoA would not only help in skill development of the youth of the state, but would also prove to be helpful in taking forward the programs of Tata Technologies. Calling upon the youth, CM Yogi said that we have to upgrade our skills with time. In the rapidly changing world, there have been extensive changes at the technical level, but the ITI of the state was never thought of upgrading. If we do not keep up with the new technology, we will definitely fall behind. Moving with the times, we also have to join training programs related to new technology, so the state government is signing an MoU worth Rs 5472 crore with Tata Technologies today. The Chief Minister told that this is a big change. After this, the laboratories and equipment of our ITIs will be upgraded, as well as good trainers from Tata Technologies will also be available to the ITIs of the state. With this, along with training 35 thousand youth every year, they will be able to get jobs in prestigious institutions of Tata and abroad.

Modern machines will be available
Under the Department of Vocational Education and Skill Development, a total of 305 State Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) are operated in the state, in which a total of 72 vocational trainings of various types are being conducted. According to the demand of Industry 4.0 proposals, the need to modernize the state industrial training institutes has been told. The industry is changing very fast. The way of working is changing. With innovation, things like robotics and internet have become the need of the day. This is currently being defined as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). The Yogi government is serious about these needs of the industry and preparing the youth for this. Efforts are being made for this at many levels. Lakhs of youth will be needed in the enterprises that will be established through the investment that is going to be made in UP through the recent UPGIS. In such a situation, the government is making efforts to make the youth of UP skilled on a large scale. The decision to upgrade ITI is also a result of this. In the coming days, the government can take many more such steps.
