Sumer also added that the youths who acquire skills in the institute could develop a self-reliant attitude and become entrepreneurs by launching their own start-ups and business. Furthermore, the training acquired would also help youths to seek employment, who otherwise do not have the skills and qualification to apply for government jobs. Such training will also provide them skills to utilise the available resources in the district. (NNN)
