New Delhi, Sept 17: Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw launched the Rail Kaushal Vikas Yojna today on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 71st birthday.

“I wish our Prime Minister Narendra Modi a very happy birthday. He has given a direction to not only India, but the world as well,” said Vaishnaw while talking to media.

Indian Railways has launched Kaushal Vikas Yojana. Under this scheme, 50,000 children will receive skill training in remote areas. We will also be setting up mobile skill training units to improve our reach in remote areas, said Vaishnaw.

Programmes related to this scheme are being held in distant places where a lot of facilities are not available, added Vaishnaw.

The BJP has made elaborate arrangements to celebrate the 71st birthday of Prime Minister Modi with the launch of the “Seva or Samarpan Abhiyan” campaign. The campaign will begin on September 17 and conclude on October 7.
