Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has given in-principle nod for setting up a skill development centre near the Noida International Airport.
As much as 8,700 sq mtr of land parcel has been earmarked for the proposed centre in Sector-31 of the Yamuna Expressway Authority Area.
The approval comes days after Jewar got its first co-ed degree college, while another degree college, exclusively for women, is expected to be ready by July 2023.
The two colleges and the skill development centre have been sanctioned by the state government.
The construction of the airport is underway, with the first flight slated to take off in 2024. The Department of Vocational and Skill Development will carry out the construction of the centre.
Once completed, the centre will offer vocational training related to aviation, apparel and upcoming industries.
