Bengaluru, Oct 21: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government’s initiative in giving training to about five lakh unemployed youth aged between 18 and 35 in 39 different subjects has impressed BJP and other parties too.

BJP-ruled states of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, TMC-ruled West Bengal and TDP-ruled Andhra Pradesh governments are keen on replicating the Karnataka model of skill development training for youth.

Each of these states has sought specific information on curating courses specific to their region. In Karnataka, there has been an overwhelming response to the “Kaushalya” the skill development project with 6.94 lakh youth registering themselves online ever since the project was launched this year.

The Rajasthan government has evinced interest in starting skill development programmes for youth in renewable energy such as solar power and wind energy, Muralidhar Halappa, chairman, Skill Development Corporation said.

Andhra Pradesh has sought information in personality development, while West Bengal is keen on industrial training. Uttar Pradesh is interested in giving thrust to home appliances and automobiles and wants its youth back home to be trained in these sectors, Halappa said.

The Karnataka model basically works like this: Those interested (age 18 to 35 years) in getting skill training can register on the department’s website Kaushalkar.com. These candidates are called for a counselling to ascertain whether their aspiration for a particular course matches his or her aptitude, before actually starting the training programme.

The department will soon be launching two new programmes in skill development. As many as 22 Government Tool Room and Training Centres (GTTC) across the state will be imparting skill training in CNC programme and operation etc.

Feb 26: The Tamil Nadu government on Tuesday claimed that it prevented Karnataka from discussing the contentious Mekedatu reservoir issue at the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) meeting held in New Delhi.

Besides the representatives of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka at the fifth meeting of CWMA, presided over by Central Water Commission Chairman R K Jain, officials of Kerala and Puducherry also participated.

CWMA member and TN PWD Secretary K Manivasan told reporters after the meeting that the state government prevented Karnataka from discussing the dam issue by pointing out the pending petitions in the Supreme Court against the project filed by the E Palaniswami government.

"We have told participants of the meeting that Mekedatu reservoir will be against the interests of Tamil Nadu and its farmers. Our consistent stand is that it should not be built at any cost. Finally the issue was not discussed in the meeting," Manivasan said.

The Mekedatu reservoir is proposed to be constructed by Karnataka across Cauvery river near Mekedatu, about 110 km from Bengaluru, in Kanakapura taluk.

It was first proposed along with Shivanasamudra hydro power project at Shimsa in 2003 with an intention to use the water for a hydro power station and supply drinking water to Bengaluru city. It was designed to store 67 tmc feet of water.

While Tamil Nadu is claiming that the construction of a balancing reservoir will disturb Cauvery water flow to the state affecting irrigation, Karnataka says the project is basically designed to take care of the drinking water needs of Bengaluru after releasing water to Tamil Nadu as per the quantum specified by the Cauvery water disputes tribunal.
