The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) will establish a new skill development centre in Badal village, Punjab, the native village of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) patriarch and former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal. The centre will be named the Sardar Parkash Singh Badal Skill India Centre.
Announcing this on the second death anniversary of his father, SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal said the centre would offer specialised training to 2,000 students every year.
He added that the land for the project will be provided by the party and described the initiative as a tribute to the late leader, who he called the “CM of the masses”.
Sukhbir Singh Badal reaffirmed his commitment to upholding Parkash Singh Badal’s principles and urged the public to work selflessly for Punjab and strengthen the SAD.
"I am committed to following Badal sahab's thinking and making Punjab the number one state in the country,” he added.
"I appeal to all those who have come here to keep the former chief minister's ideals in their hearts and work for strengthening the SAD and working selflessly for Punjab," Sukhbir Badal added.
He said the SAD patriarch was the "CM of the masses" as he received the love and affection of every community.
"It is a matter of great happiness that the National Skill Development Corporation has approved the proposal for the establishment of a skill centre in Badal village. We will provide land for the centre, which will be the second such centre in the country after Bhubaneswar," he said.
According to a party statement, the NSDC authorities formally handed over the approval letter for the project to Sukhbir Singh Badal. This will be the second such centre in the country after Bhubaneswar.
