"We will provide financial assistance to youths who can show their skills in a company, factory or organisation. They will get money through these companies. This is not a scheme under which one will get money while sitting at home," Pilot said.

 

"We will try that people are absorbed in those fields where they have received training so that they can improve their skill set," he added.
