Bhopal: Tech Education Wing To Be Separated From Medical Education Dept

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The government is going to separate the technical education department from the skill development after the public health department was separated from the medical education. Currently, the technical education department and the skill development department are working together.

Cadres of both the departments are also the same. Now that the government has decided to separate the departments, the cadres will also be changed. The Government of India has also separated the technical education department from the skill development department, so that the department may focus more on jobs.

Likewise, the state government is going to separate these two departments to focus on creating employment opportunities. Immediately after the formation of the Cabinet, the government began to mull over separating the two departments. This is the reason why two ministers have been made heads of these two wings. Inder Singh Parmar has been given the charge of the technical education department and Gautam Tetwal that of the skill development department.

Already RS Member, Won't Contest LS Polls: Diggy

The ex-CM is touring different parliamentary constituencies to assess the party’s preparations for the elections. In this series, the former CM is on tour to Rajgarh to take stock of the preparations.  During the visit when he was asked about the candidate from Rajgarh, Singh replied that the Congress would decide who would be contesting the election and from where.
