In an attempt to train more than 50,000 youths every year to be self-employed, a training institute would be opened in each district of Bihar by the end of this year, the state government said on Monday.
Replying to a short-notice question of senior RJD MLA Abdul Bari Siddiqui in the state Assembly, Deputy Chief Minister S K Modi said although the project of setting up the Rural Development Employment Training Institute (RUDSETI) was launched long back, they have so far been successful in opening the institutes in hardly eight of the 38 districts in the state.
RUDSETI, a programme of NABARD to be run by nationalised banks, would start training programmes in rest of the 30 districts towards the end of this year, he said.
"We want more and more youth to undergo the training programme for self-employment, for which banks have agreed to extend loans," he added.
State officials would help the banks in obtaining private houses on rent till they acquire land for constructing their buildings, he said.
