Higher Education Minister V.S. Acharya said on Saturday that the State government was giving importance to develop skills and talents among the youth.
He was speaking after inaugurating the three-day State Youth Festival organised by the Department of Youth Services and Sports, and the district administration.
Mr. Acharya said that physical barriers had come down in a globalised world. Youth with good education, skills, and talent had many opportunities open for them.
In the past four years, the government increased the budget of the Department of Youth Services and Sports. The government was thinking of shifting the scouts' activities in schools from the Department of Public Instruction to the Department of Youth Services and Sports, he said.
The future of the country was dependent on the future of the youth. “Our ancestors have left us a rich legacy in the fields of arts and culture. It is our duty to preserve and promote it,” he said.
Assistant Director of the Department of Youth Services and Sports Sitanadi Vittal Shetty welcomed the gathering.
Gopal Bhandary, MLA, presided over the function.
