The minister, who was accompanied by Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal, said this at the inaugural ceremony of a multi skill development centre at Gill Road here on Sunday.
“Nearly 1,000 skill development centres will also be opened in the rural belt of Punjab in the next 2 years,” Rudy said.
The Union minister also assured help to the state government for setting up the two — International Skill Development Centre and Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Kendra — centres in Ludhiana.
“The youths trained in such centres will not require any other certification to get jobs in India or abroad,” Rudy added.
