Skill India is organizing an ‘Apprenticeship Mela’ across the country. This is to be held in more than over 700 locations on April 21.

This will also fill the gap and act as a bridge between the supply and demand for a skilled workforce.
“The event will witness participation from more than 4,000 organizations across the country, operating in more than 30 sectors such as Power, Retail, Telecom, IT/ITeS, Electronics, Automotive, and more,” the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship stated.
