As part of Gujarat Government policy to create job opportunities for youth in remote areas, Chief Minister Shri Vijay Rupani today inaugurated a Vocational Training Centre built at a cost of Rs.22-crore in collaboration with Atul Private Limited on PPP basis at Ozarpada in Dharampur taluka

CM Shri Rupani handed over the admission letters to the students and chatted with them for a while enquiring about their future aspirations.

Speaking on the occasion, he said the number of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in the state has increased from 125 to 800. They are a big source of providing jobs to the youth.
