Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday reviewed a comprehensive presentation on skill development and vocational training at The Institute of Technical Education in Singapore and witnessed the signing of key Memorandums of Understanding to strengthen collaboration in technical education and aviation skills.

Meanwhile, CM Yogi described his nine-year tenure as a "golden chapter of reconstruction" for Uttar Pradesh, emphasising that the goal of "developed Uttar Pradesh @ 2047" will only be achieved when the state becomes self-reliant.

According to an official statement, the visit aligns with the India-Singapore Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) Roadmap, which identifies priority pillars including economic cooperation, digitalisation, skills development, sustainability, connectivity, and advanced manufacturing.

During the visit, the Chief Minister will hold high-level meetings with Singapore's political leadership, including Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan, Tan See Leng, Minister for Manpower and Minister-in-charge of Energy and Science and Technology, and Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President of Singapore, the release stated.

Good to see focus on vocational training. Our education system needs more industry-linked courses so graduates are actually employable. Hope this MoU doesn't just remain on paper.

Aviation skills training is crucial with all the new airports coming up in UP. This can stop our youth from migrating to other states for such jobs. Positive step!

As someone who has worked in skill development, the Singapore model is excellent. Their focus on 'earn while you learn' and close industry ties is what India needs. Implementation is key.

Respectfully, we have signed many MoUs in the past with little visible impact on the ground. I hope this time there is a clear roadmap, budget allocation, and regular public updates on progress.

This is the way forward! Skill development is more important than just degrees. My brother did an ITI course and got a job immediately. More such quality institutes please 🙏
