The DC further highlighted the importance of skilled workforce and urged the workers to get skilled in their chosen field of activity to earn their livelihoods rightfully. We have to import labour force from outside the state such as mason, plumber, painter, carpenter etc. which are highly paid jobs.
It would be better if our unemployed youth get skilled and take up such jobs thus saving our money from draining outside our state, he explained.
