Kathmandu: Minister for Youth, Labour and Employment Ramji Yadav has stressed the need to connect youths with employment by developing skills as per the demand of the market.
He stressed on the need to provide practical skills to the youths and not just limited them to certificates. Inaugurating the building of Everest Multi Skill Pvt Ltd here today, Minister Yadav said that not only unemployment is the main challenge of Nepal but also the gap between the skills demanded by the market and the human resources being produced.
“On the one hand, the youths are looking for employment and on the other hand, there is a need for skilled manpower in industry, construction, tourism, agriculture, information technology and service sectors,” he said, “Skills as per the demand of the market, employment according to skills and self-reliance through employment should be a priority.” Minister Yadav said that the number of people receiving training should not be considered only as the basis of achievement. He said that the effectiveness of the skill development program should be evaluated on the basis of how many people got employment after the training, how many people started enterprises and how much their income improved.
He said, “Youths should not only be given certificates but also skills to work. Not only training, but also an opportunity to connect with employment. It should be measured not only on the basis of how many people have undergone training, but also on the basis of how many people got employment, how many people started enterprises, how much their income has improved. For this, cooperation between the government, private sector, training providers and local levels is also necessary. He said that cooperation between the government, private sector, training providers and local levels is necessary for this.
Stating that the government’s aim was not only to stop the youths from going abroad, Minister Yadav said that respectable employment opportunities should be created in the country. He stressed on the need to establish the youths going for foreign employment as skilled, safe and dignified workers. According to him, the Ministry
of Youth, Labour and Employment has prioritized the issues of making foreign employment dignified, promoting domestic employment, encouraging skill development and entrepreneurship and ensuring the dignity of workers.
Meanwhile, Rastriya Swatantra Party (Rastriya Swatantra Party) lawmaker Rajiv Khatri expressed sorrow over the flooding in Budhigandaki River in Gorkha on the beginning of Dashain. Referring to the flood in Budhigandaki as another disaster after the floods in the Bhotekoshi area earlier, he said the country was facing natural disaster again. Khagendra Neupane, vice-president of NRNA ICC and chairman of Everest Multi Skill Pvt Ltd, urged them to prepare skills in their hands as people who do not have skills go abroad for the same amount of time and low salary. “It is better to work in the country and abroad only by making unskilled people skilled,” he said.
