The other states are Tamil Nadu (1,01,495), Gujarat (83,730), Karnataka (78,444) and Uttar Pradesh (71,444). There are more than 5.5 lakh vacancies available under apprenticeship on the portal as of now which keeps on consistently increasing and this has immense potential to extend benefits to youth in rural and semi-urban areas in facilitating their smooth transition from education to workforce, thereby, making them job ready professionals. It creates pathways for fresh talent to uplift their capabilities, improve apprentices’ engagement within establishments and provide awareness to the youth on various opportunities existing across the participating companies. MSDE has undertaken several initiatives to reform the apprenticeship ecosystem in India, including active involvement with stakeholders, launch of DBT under NAPS and mandates companies with 30 or more employees to engage apprentices. Additionally, the apprenticeship portal allows the candidates to explore job opportunities across sectors and filter data based on the academic qualifications and skills that aligns with their aspirations.
• 32+ lakh apprentices engaged under National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) • 47,000+ Active Establishments • Close to 5.5 lakh apprenticeship opportunities / vacancies across all states • More than 1000 approved courses across 36 sectors in which you can apply for apprenticeship • More than ₹ 350+ Cr. transferred into apprentice’s bank account through DBT till date • Women apprentices increase from 7% to 21% in the last five years • The official apprenticeship portal is www.apprenticeshipindia.gov.in
Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari, Secretary, MSDE said, “To date, over 32 lakh youth have been engaged as apprentices in various apprenticeship programs across 36 sectors in the country. We are currently working with more than 110 industry clusters, encompassing one-third of India’s districts. The direct benefit transfer of stipends has significantly enhanced the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS), with more than INR 350 crores disbursed to apprentices’ accounts since its launch last year. The next phase of the scheme will undoubtedly see an increased percentage of apprentices receiving hands-on training across establishments.” Efforts have been taken to spearhead the benefits of Apprenticeship training and vocational training to meet the industry demands while providing on the job training and opportunities for aspiring professionals. The trend indicates a promising opportunity for employers to hire apprentices and aid them in discovering the right job roles while maximising their potential through in-depth skill development. Apprenticeship training is one of the key components for creating skilled manpower in India to achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat. Amendments in 2014 to the Apprentices Act, 1961 and the Rules in 2019 and launch of NAPS, have been carried out to facilitate the establishments to engage a greater number of apprentices. The scheme enables apprentices to have access to structured training programs, mentorship opportunities, and hands-on learning experiences tailored to meet industry demands.
Expected to benefit up to 5000 people in local community
BENGALURU, JUNE 24 th , 2024— Kennametal India Limited, together with Planet Sutra, a sustainability implementation partner, held an event today to mark the completion of the Harokethanahalli lake restoration project at Bengaluru, India. The project spans nearly 18 acres of land, and the lake itself has a capacity of over 140 million liters of water. Situated amidst agricultural land, commercial orchards and private farmhouses, and yet away from the public water supply system, the main source of water in the region is groundwater that is extracted through deeply dug borewells for consumption. Further, the hard rocky strata and steep slopes make it challenging for rainwater to percolate into aquifer zones and its runoff rapidly erodes the fertile soil. This initiative is expected to restore the quality of water of the lake and free it from garbage, effluents, and other pollutants. It should also raise the groundwater table by eight meters, benefitting up to 5000 people living in and around the Harokethanahalli lake. Another key benefit is the revival of the surrounding flora and fauna. Speaking at the event, Vijaykrishnan Venkatesan, Managing Director, Kennametal India Limited said, “It’s a proud moment for the Kennametal India team as we conclude our second lake restoration project successfully. ‘Protecting our planet’ is a key pillar of Kennametal’s CSR commitment with focus on identifying initiatives that are pertinent to the region and have significant impact on the surrounding community. One such example is the Harokethanahalli lake restoration through various measures, right from ensuring clean water to planting of saplings around the lake to prevent soil erosion, renewing the surrounding eco-system and mostly importantly, cultivating an environment centric mindset among the beneficiaries witnessing this transformation.”
Coimbatore, June 23rd 2024: In a commendable effort to contribute to environmental sustainability, the children from Coimbatore Metropolitan Ladies Circle 23 organized a plantation drive at Kumaraswamy Lake in RS Puram.

The UNESCO World Heritage List includes 32 cultural and natural sites from Russia. Three of them can be seen with your own eyes without travelling outside Moscow. The Moscow City Tourism Committee offers a selection of unique architectural monuments that are worth a visit for visitors from India.
The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square
A masterpiece of world architecture and the main symbol of Russia is located in the heart of Moscow and strikes the imagination from the first glance at the ancient tiles and ruby stars of the Spasskaya Tower. The ensemble of the Moscow Kremlin and Red Square was among the first Russian sites included in the World Heritage List, and one day will not be enough for an inquisitive tourist to see all its sights. Must-see items when visiting the Kremlin are the legendary Tsar Cannon and Tsar Bell from the times of the royal dynasties, as well as the treasury of the Kremlin Armoury. And in addition to the postcard-perfect St Basil’s Cathedral and the Mausoleum, the Historical Museum and the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat are also must-sees when visiting the Red Square.
A walk on the Red Square and a visit to the Kremlin will be interesting not only for adults, but also for their children. The Moscow Kremlin Museums offer thematic excursions for different ages, so the program is adapted to the age peculiarities of the child’s perception and interests, which will help to remember the visit to these places better.
Red Square is located in the very center of the capital, near it there are several metro stations, or to be more precise, several entire interchange hubs. The closest stations are Okhotny Ryad, Teatralnaya and Ploshchad Revolutsii. You can enter the Red Square free of charge, but to visit the Kremlin you will need to buy a ticket, we recommend doing it online beforehead. The cost of visiting the Armory is 1300 rubles (approximately $15), the right to pass without queuing is available for excursion groups with a guide. To see the architectural ensemble of Sobornaya Square is possible for a smaller price – 900 rubles ($10), but in both locations, visiting it is organized according to the schedule, there may be queues for entry. We also would like to attract your attention to the fact that the Diamond Fund, Lenin’s Mausoleum do not belong to the museums of the Kremlin.
ChurchoftheAscensioninKolomenskoye
Another architectural masterpiece – one of thefirst hipped roof temples in Russia, located on the territory of the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve. According to legend, the Church of the Ascension was built in honour of the birth of the future Tsar Ivan IV, who went down in history as the Terrible. A visit to the site can be combined with a walk through the large-scale park that adorns the south of Moscow’s centre.
At the moment, the Church of the Ascension is closed for restoration, and you can only admire it from the outside, but there are still many sights to visit in Kolomenskoye. For example, together with the tour guests you can visit the palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the Falcon Court and the beekeeper’s estate. The Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve and Izmailovo Estate regularly host events that introduce domestic history and culture in an interactive way. All events are free of charge and designed for family audiences.
Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve is located 5 minutes from the Kolomenskoye metro station of the same name. Entrance to the park is free, for the cost of excursions please check the website.
Novodevichy Convent
The oldest active convent in Moscow has preserved its monumental appearance since the 16th-17th centuries. Its architectural ensemble belongs to the “Moscow Baroque” style. The interiors of the monastery contain valuable collections of paintings and works of arts and crafts – you can see them and admire the rich interior decoration of the complex by signing up for a tour.
In addition to excursions, the Novodevichy Convent also has a playground for younger visitors – electronic cards for visiting the playground are available at the church shop during its opening hours. Cards are issued only to parents with children (no more than 1 card per family), and to children from the age of 14. So if a child wants to run and play for a little, parents can bring him/her to the playground. For security purposes, the playground is under video surveillance.
Like most of Moscow’s sights, the Novodevichy Convent is the easiest to reach by metro. The nearest station is Sportivnaya, you can walk from it to the convent in just 5-7 minutes. Visiting tickets are not expensive at all – the cost for adults is 300 rubles (a little bit more than $3). Please note that amateur photography and videography cost an additional 100 and 200 ($1–2) rubles accordingly.
