Industry Must Pay Higher Salaries for Certified Skills: Jayant Chaudhary

Union minister Jayant Chaudhary suggests that the industry must pay higher salaries to attract people with certified skills. He believes that investing in skilled workers is crucial and that the industry must put a value on skilling and education. Chaudhary also emphasizes the need to invest more in skilling and education to bridge the skilling gap and improve the livelihoods of young people.
