In a significant move to empower the youth of Meghalaya, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Government of Meghalaya signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a Student Skill Building Program. The MoU was signed by Meghalaya Chief Minister Shri Conrad Sangma, along with NSE’s Chief Business Development Officer Shri Sriram Krishnan, and Senior Vice President Shri Krishnan Iyer.
This collaboration aims to equip students with skills and knowledge in the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector, boosting employability and fostering self-employment opportunities across the state. The program aligns with the Union Budget 2024’s focus on skill development, a crucial driver for enhancing the workforce’s capabilities in India.
Chief Minister Conrad Sangma emphasized the role of Meghalaya in India’s economic transformation, stating, “Our collaboration with NSE marks a significant step in empowering our youth with financial knowledge and skills, investing in their future and the prosperity of Meghalaya.” The initiative is expected to bridge the skill gap in the BFSI sector, creating new avenues for Meghalaya’s young talent. The Shillong market, with its growing business environment, is set to benefit from this skill development program, as local youth gain the expertise needed to take on roles in the expanding financial sector.
