The state’s Skill Development Department is scaling up digital literacy and skill‑training camps to generate local employment opportunities for young people in North Karnataka’s rural areas.
The Skill Development Department of Karnataka announced an expansion of digital literacy and skill‑training camps targeting rural youth in the state’s northern region, aiming to strengthen self‑reliant education and create local job opportunities.
