Since the launch of National Youth Skill Mission in 2015, India has progressed significantly in terms of employability of youth.

In order to contribute towards national development by skilling the youth, Jaquar Group has announced the skill development and training of over 300 plumbers. The training will be imparted to these plumbers through 10 specialised training centres which are spread across India. The centres will train unemployed youth in specialised skill sets and develop them as trained plumbers.
“There is a lack of skilled workforce in plumbing in India and with the poised growth of real estate, this shortage needs to be addressed. Jaquar Group is trying in meet the need of the hour and empower today’s youth,” said Mr. Rajesh Mehra, Promoter & Director, Jaquar Group.
