Nutana Unnata Abhilasha (NUA) Scheme to Train 1 Lakh Odisha Youths Every Year

Bhubaneswar: The Nutana Unnata Abhilasha (NUA) Odisha scheme was approved by the Odisha Cabinet on Friday. Under this scheme, the state government would train and provide skills to one lakh youths in the state every year for the next three years.

Around Rs. 385.00 crore would be spent on this project. This scheme will offer high-quality training, foster industry linkages, and enhance employability skills in youths. By that, the scarcity of skilled human resources in emerging trades would be mitigated.

This scheme will help to bridge the skill gap in the utilization of new-age technologies in traditional sectors like handicrafts, handloom, and agriculture.

Under this scheme, there would be facility for fresh skilling of youths, add-on-courses for existing students, digital and e-courses for youths in higher educational institutions as well as enhancement of employability skills for students.
