The AP government had come up with a blue print to establish 23 skill development colleges in the state at a cost of Rs 460 crore.
The state-owned departments like Police Housing Corporation, APIIC and Roads and Buildings, will shoulder the responsibility of constructing required buildings for these colleges.
Construction of these skill colleges is likely to start in October and complete in 8 months, with 4,520 sft each.
The Roads and Buildings Department would construct 10 colleges, followed by six by the APIIC and seven by the AP Police Housing Corporation.
The construction would be completed in eight months from now and the colleges, with a university at Tirupati would start its first academic year from 2022.
Interestingly, the Central Ministry of Surface Transport will construct two colleges at Nandyal and Vizianagaram.
Each college would come up with an investment of Rs 20 crore on at least five-acre area, to train 126 youth with hostel facility.
The training would range from three months to six months, depending on the industry that the candidates choose.
The state government had already tied-up with the industries to assist them in the curriculum and also campus recruitments.
The industry would inform the colleges on their staff requirement. The colleges, in turn, would provide skill training to the candidates and supply them, thus making AP youth industry-friendly.
