Ranchi: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) will build and fund skill development centres in Ranchi and Deoghar as part of its corporate social responsibility. The AAI has made a communication to this effect to the state civil aviation department here.
The roadmap for the work is set to be developed soon. The civil aviation department has confirmed the development. Tribal boys of the state will be imparted training at these institutes.
Sajal Chakravarty, secretary of the civil aviation department, said, "The idea was mooted by AAI chairman when he was in Ranchi to inaugurate the new terminal building last Sunday."
The aspirants will be provided industrial training, taught house-keeping, aviation security, apart from other trades. It will cater to a huge population of the youth who remain unemployed despite getting formal education.
"The institutes will focus on training youths from the downtrodden sections of society, especially tribals," said Chakravarty.
