Itanagar, Nov 19 (IANS) Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Sunday announced the setting up of a Skill University to provide employment opportunities outside the government space.
"The biggest challenge facing the youth of Arunachal today is the dearth of adequate and gainful employment opportunities outside the government space," Khandu told President Ram Nath Kovind at a gathering here.
