Labour Minister Vivek says Advanced Technology Centres will boost employability among youngsters

Telangana's Director General of Police (DGP) has launched a new online platform called “TG-Veer” aimed at providing assistance and recognition to the families of police officers who have died in the line of duty. The portal, introduced recently, serves as a centralized resource for these families, offering access to various forms of support including financial aid, medical benefits, and educational scholarships. This initiative underscores the state government’s commitment to honoring and supporting the dependents of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the public. The launch of the “TG-Veer” portal follows a series of measures taken by the Telangana government to improve both public safety and the welfare of its law enforcement personnel. The DGP emphasized that this digital platform would streamline processes related to claims and benefits, ensuring that families receive timely assistance without bureaucratic delays. The portal includes features such as real-time updates on claim status, documentation requirements, and contact information for relevant authorities. It also provides links to legal resources and counseling services tailored to the needs of bereaved families. In addition to the “TG-Veer” portal, the state government has been actively working on enhancing the employability of young people through advanced technological education. Labour Minister G. Vivek Venkataswamy announced the establishment of Advanced Technology Centres (ATCs) in all 119 Assembly constituencies. These centres aim to provide youth with industry-specific skills and prepare them for the evolving job market. The minister performed the bhoomi puja for one such ATC in Rudrangi, Rajanna Sircilla district, marking the beginning of a project estimated to cost ₹45.15 crore. The transformation of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) into ATCs represents a strategic shift towards modernizing vocational training in the state. The initiative focuses on equipping students with skills aligned with emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Electric Vehicles, Robotics, and Drones. The government aims to build a comprehensive ecosystem that supports skill development and ensures placement opportunities for trained individuals. To further bolster the employability of youth, the Telangana Overseas Manpower Company (TOMCOM) is playing a crucial role in facilitating international job placements. The company is working to identify and train skilled youth who can find employment abroad. As part of this effort, TOMCOM plans to deploy a German language trainer in Rudrangi if 100 eligible candidates are identified. This move highlights the government's intent to expand opportunities beyond domestic borders, particularly in countries with high demand for technical expertise. The Labour Minister highlighted the importance of adapting to the rapid changes in the global job market and stressed the need for continuous innovation in skill development programs. He assured that the government would continue to invest in infrastructure and human resources to meet the challenges posed by technological advancements. The presence of Government Whip and Vemulawada MLA Aadi Srinivas at the Rudrangi event underscored the political significance of the initiative and the collaborative efforts required to implement it effectively. The introduction of ATCs and the “TG-Veer” portal reflects a broader policy direction focused on both security and economic growth. While the former addresses the immediate needs of police families, the latter looks to the long-term development of the workforce. These initiatives are part of a larger strategy to ensure sustainable development and social stability in Telangana. The government's emphasis on integrating technology into both public service and vocational training signals a forward-looking approach to governance and societal progress.
