Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar launched the ‘Heartland Tripura’ project for skill development training.
The Heartland Tripura project has been launched in partnership with Deloitte India and the National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology in Agartala.
The main aim of the project is to impart skill development training to the youth and it would attract investments and create jobs.
He said that the government wanted to make Tripura a centre of technological innovation so that big companies like Microsoft and IBM would create opportunities in the state in future.
He said the government has taken various steps to convert the Northeast into a destination of investments and a hub of jobs.
A three-step strategy—bridging the gaps of physical, digital and talent connectivity has been adopted by the government.
Deloitte would provide 350 jobs by June 2024 in Tripura and around 10,000 people would get jobs in the IT sector.
