Srinagar, Oct 16: The National Steering Committee (NSC) of the Pradhan Mantri Skilling and Employability Transformation through Upgraded ITIs (PM-SETU) has approved investments worth 475.41 crore for upgrading Industrial Training Institute (ITI) clusters in Jammu and Srinagar. The approvals are part of five Strategic Investment Plans (SIPs) worth a cumulative 1,194.92 crore cleared for ITI clusters across Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra and Odisha, according to the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. The sixth meeting of the National Steering Committee was held on Friday under the chairpersonship of Debashree Mukherjee, Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE). Under the approved plans, the Jammu ITI Cluster will receive an investment of 240 crore in partnership with Eagle Infra India Limited, while 235.41 crore has been approved for the Srinagar ITI Cluster in partnership with Inderdeep Infra India. The Jammu cluster comprises Government ITI Jammu as the hub, with Government ITIs at R S Pura, Nowshera, Samba and Kathua as spoke institutions. The Srinagar cluster comprises Government ITI Srinagar as the hub, with Government ITIs at Ganderbal, Kangan, Budgam and Charar-i-Sharief as spoke institutions. The projects aim to modernise infrastructure, introduce industry-aligned courses, strengthen trainer capacity and enhance industry participation to improve employment opportunities for youth. Chairing the meeting, Mukherjee said the approvals would help strengthen ITIs, improve training quality and increase industry participation. She encouraged the clusters to work towards ISO certification and include at least one WorldSkills-aligned trade or competency area in their approved implementation plans. The progress made by Jammu & Kashmir is encouraging and reflects a strong commitment to strengthening skilling and expanding opportunities for youth in the region, she said. The committee also approved 240.50 crore for the Kataka ITI Cluster in Odisha in partnership with Tata Steel Foundation, 241 crore for the Pune ITI Cluster in Maharashtra with BVG India Limited, in consortium with BVG Foundation, and 238.01 crore for the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar ITI Cluster in Maharashtra in partnership with Belrise Industries Limited.

The committee also reviewed progress under the scheme's Training of Trainers component. As of October 2026, a total of 3,744 trainers had been trained through National Skill Training Institutes (NSTIs).

Conspiracy to seize power: Piyush Goyal attacks Congress over regime change remark
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 16 (IANS) Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Friday accused the Congress party of conspiring to seize power by creating anarchy in the country, saying the use of the term regime change made it clear that the opposition's fight was not about electoral reforms, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) or Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The use of terms like Regime Change makes it clear that their fight is not for electoral reform, not for SIR, not for Gyanesh Kumar, not for the bright future of the country's youth. Rather, this is their conspiracy to seize power by creating Anarchy in the country, Goyal posted on X. The remarks came amid a political row over the regime change statement made by senior advocate Prashant Bhushan at a press conference on Thursday. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, addressing a press conference in Lucknow, also launched a scathing attack on Congress, alleging that its objective was to capture power by creating anarchy rather than address concerns relating to the Election Commission and the electoral process. Goyal also shared Rajnath Singh's remarks referring to the situation in Bangladesh. Singh accused the opposition of drawing inspiration from the neighbouring country and seeking to bring down the government. They want to change the regime like in Bangladesh and openly mention in their press conference that they are motivated by Bangladesh and talk about bringing down the government. It clearly shows that their sole agenda is to destroy democratic institutions. They are using words such as 'regime change', which clearly shows that their fight is neither for the Election Commission nor for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), nor against Gyanesh Kumar, nor for the bright future of the youth. They simply want power by creating anarchy in the nation. When political selfishness is placed above truth or the nation's interests, democratic discourse, instead of being guided by facts, becomes a victim of obstinacy and malicious propaganda, Singh said. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also targeted the opposition over the remarks, saying the reference to regime change had exposed the alleged objective behind the protests. Its done bro, everything is exposed!! After all, it was all about Regime Change... In the end, the secret hidden in the heart came to the lips! The whole game is about grabbing the seat of power... and for that, why not provoke students and farmers, spread hatred in the name of caste and language, or tarnish the image of the countrys esteemed institutions? Spreading anarchy under the guise of a movement is precisely their objective, CM Fadnavis posted on X. CM Fadnavis also shared a video of Prashant Bhushan's press conference. At the press conference on Thursday, Bhushan openly acknowledged the demand for regime change, stating, Yes, we want regime change.
Digital Desk | Pune, Oct 16 (IANS) Rifts within the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra have surfaced ahead of the Teachers Constituency election. While Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis recently claimed that all five Teacher and Graduate constituencies would be contested jointly under the Mahayuti umbrella, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde signalled that all is not well within the coalition by backing Independent candidate Sachin Sanap in the Pune Teachers Constituency. The voting is slated for October 23 and counting on October 27. Dy CM Shinde on Thursday evening announced Shiv Sena's support for Sanap. Although we are contesting elections as Mahayuti, a 'friendly contest' may take place in certain places as an exception, he stated. The decision has set up a high-stakes political contest between Independent candidate Sachin Sanap and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Kaustubh Gawade, turning the spotlight of political circles onto the constituency. Further, Jayant Asgaonkar (Congress) is backed once again by the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). Asgaonkar enters the fray as the incumbent holding the stronghold. In the 2020 elections, held under the erstwhile MVA government, Asgaonkar secured a decisive victory on first-preference votes. Having launched his campaign with high hopes of securing the BJP ticketsymbolically commencing from the courtyard of Pandharpur's Vitthal TempleDattatray Sawant missed out on the official nomination. However, the former MLA, who finished a strong second in the previous election cycle, is locked in the race as an independent contender. Incidentally, the Shiv Sena is deploying its full organisational power to secure a victory for Sanap. Senior party leaders will actively hit the ground starting tomorrow, to bolster his campaign. Shindes remarks on friendly fights have highlighted local-level disagreements among the ruling parties, raising questions about alliance coordination. Sanaps candidacybacked heavily by Shiv Senas machinerytransforms this contest into a significant test of political coordination and unity within the Mahayuti coalition. The announcement comes just days after CM Fadnavis expressed strong confidence during a visit to Pune, asserting that the Mahayuti would win all five seats in the election. Fadnavis had previously stated that Shiv Sena would work to ensure the success of BJP candidate Kaustubh Gawade, ruling out any involvement of the party in supporting Independent candidate Sachin Sanap. However, Shiv Sena's formal endorsement of Sanap creates a distinct divergence between the coalition partners in the Pune Teachers' constituency, setting the stage for an intense fight. The battleground for the Pune Teachers' Legislative Council (MLC) seat is shaping up into a fierce contest, with the race likely culminating in a multi-cornered showdown. Addressing swirling rumours of a friendly fight and potential unilateral backing for Sachin Sanap, Minister Shambhuraj Desai clarified that the ruling alliance intends to uphold coalition ethics. Emphasising that every political outfit holds the democratic right to expand its organisational footprint, Minister Desai maintained that there is no active discord within the coalition. However, political analysts note that underlying frictions persist across multiple MLC segments. Strategic friction across Pune, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and Amravati belts has exposed minor cross-currents within the Mahayuti framework. BJP rebels have surfaced in Amravati, complicating local equations. Reports of tactical cross-support manoeuvres between constituents in Amravati and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar have amplified pressure on party leadership. To douse rebellious flames and tightly manage coalition alignment, high-profile leaders, including Chandrashekhar Bawankule and Minister Uday Samant, rushed to the Amravati division to manage local dissent.
