The training will be free of cost for all the candidates. Each candidate undergoing training will receive a monthly stipend of Rs 1,500 for 3 months during the course of training and Rs 2,000 every month for 2 months after the completion of training.

Mr Siddharth Chaturvedi (Director, AISECT) said “Minority education has always been one of the major concerns in our country. The Entrepreneurship and Skills Development Programme by Maulana Azad National Academy for Skills is a laudable step in this direction”.

AISECT will also be responsible for job placement or self-employment for at least 70 per cent of the total number of trainees.
