Jharkhand to Boost Vocational Training and Job Skills in Schools

The state government of Jharkhand has unveiled a policy aimed at integrating vocational education and job‑skill development into the regular school system. The move is intended to give students practical abilities that complement academic learning. Officials said the scheme will be rolled out across public and private schools, with curriculum adjustments to include hands‑on training modules. By exposing learners to market‑relevant skills early, the government hopes to improve employability and address skill gaps in the regional labour market. The initiative aligns with broader national efforts to strengthen skill‑based education and prepare youth for emerging economic opportunities.
