He said the job of the village and ward-level volunteers would be to collect a detailed information about youth and their categories based on their educational qualifications — school, college, university or even school dropouts. The aspirations of each category should be identified and the information thus collected should be included in the report, he said.
Mr. Reddy said the skill development training being imparted through different departments in the State was in accordance with the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF), a competency-based framework that organises all qualifications according to a series of levels of knowledge, skills and aptitude. The certificates issued by NSQF were valid at the national and international level.
