Chief Coordinating Officer of AICTE, Dr. Buddha Chandrashekhar, was quoted saying that the talent program offers students with a one-of-a-kind prospect to be job-ready by developing skills that will be in high demand over the coming years. The internship aims to empower the youth and reduce the skills gap in India, he further added.
