Short-term certification courses for skill training will also be provided after school and during weekly holidays. On the other hand, high-quality promotion of higher education will receive a budget of Rs 2 crore.

Rs 10 crore will be spent on the Chief Minister’s Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme, with Rs 5 crore on the ward-level digital library and Rs 1 crore on Skill Hub to provide education focused on employment. Over the next three months, the Higher Education Department will spend Rs 20.1 crore.
