aegis of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE),

"By collaborating with
private businesses, NSDC designs and implements training programmes that
equip individuals with the necessary skills demanded by the evolving

in a statement.
"The organisation's commitment to driving skill
development has a cascading effect, positively influencing economic
growth and enhancing the employability of millions across diverse
sectors in India," he added.
The collaboration with Blinkit will
also focus on recruitment of candidates, capable of making immediate
contributions to the identified job role in the quick commerce segment.
In
addition, Quess will support NSDC in mobilising employers to engage in
Job Fairs, while Apna will provide industry insights to NSDC and aid in
conducting surveys with key employers.
