Patna, June 29: In an attempt to train more than
50,000 youths every year to be self-employed, a training institute would be opened in each district of Bihar by the end of this year, the state government said on Monday.
Replying to a short-notice question of senior RJD MLA
Abdul Bari Siddiqui in the state Assembly, Deputy Chief
Minister S K Modi said although the project of setting up the
Rural Development Employment Training Institute (RUDSETI) was
launched long back, they have so far been successful in
opening the institutes in hardly eight of the 38 districts in
the state.
RUDSETI, a programme of NABARD to be run by nationalised
banks, would start training programmes in rest of the 30
districts towards the end of this year, he said.
"We want more and more youth to undergo the training
programme for self-employment, for which banks have agreed to
extend loans," he added.
State officials would help the banks in obtaining private
houses on rent till they acquire land for constructing their
buildings, he said.
