Minister of State (MoS) for Labour and Employment, Santosh K Gangwar, on Saturday said that there is no lack of employment in the country but there are few skilled personnel, especially in north India.

Speaking at a book launch event in Lucknow on Narendra Modi government’s 100 days, Gangwar said, “There is no lack of employment opportunities in the country. The recruiters coming to north India often complain that they find very few candidates with the required skills for a specific post. Considering this, the government has laid special emphasis on skill development.”
