Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched a customized crash course programme that aims to skill and upskill over 100,000 Covid-19 warriors across India.
Speaking at the event, the PM said: “Covid-19 is still there and there is a strong possibility of the virus being mutated. Therefore, the country’s preparations have to be ramped up in order to combat new challenges. We are working towards preparing 1 lakh frontline workers in the country".
The programme has been designed as a special project under the Central Component of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 3.0, with a financial outlay of ₹276 crore.
