The Ministry of Minority Affairs collaborated with IIT Patna under the PM VIKAS scheme to enhance skill development among minority youth in Bihar. The initiative aims to train 600 individuals in advanced and industry-relevant fields such as Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics. This partnership reflects the government’s focus on bridging the skill gap and improving employability through modern technological education. IIT Patna, established in 2008, is one of India’s premier institutions and plays a key role in delivering high-quality technical training, thereby supporting sustainable livelihood opportunities for underrepresented communities.
