Circle Officer of Sidli, Nikunj Kumar Das, was also present on the occasion.
Speaking at the event, Madhusudan Nath said skill-based education is very important along with regular studies. He added that such programmes help youth become self-reliant and improve their chances of earning a livelihood.
