Aimed at making India the skill capital of the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday laid the foundation stone of the country's first Indian Institute of Skills (IIS) in Kanpur.
The IIS was conceptualised by Modi during his visit to Singapore's Institute of Technical Education. The institute is being opened by the Skill Development Ministry in partnership with the Institute of Technical Education, Singapore. The Ministry has decided to have six such institutes.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
