MSME Minister K H Muniyappa will lay the foundation stone for an Rs 100-crore Training and Research Centre (Tool Room) in Puducherry this month on February 22.
Announcing this at a press meet recently, Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanasamy said the Puducherry government had earmarked a ten-acre site for the project.
"Around 10,000 youths would undergo training in the centre every year and these technically qualified and trained youths would get jobs in industries and reduce the problem of unemployment," said Muniyappa.
The Centre had sanctioned eight such centres in different states, and Puducherry was also covered under the scheme.
Narayanasamy said a super speciality hospital would come up in Karaikal at an investment of Rs 100 crore provided by the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC).
Oil Minister M Veerappa Moily would visit Karaikal in the next few days to the lay foundation of the new facility on the Government Hospital precincts there. ONGC would spend Rs 45 crore in the first phase. Specialists from JIPMER would be utilised for manning the hospital, he added.
The Union Tourism Ministry had released Rs 50 crore for Puducherry to develop tourism related projects including setting up of a research centre at Arikamedu, situated on the backwaters in Ariyankuppam, to bring to focus the village's historical, archaeological and cultural features.
