New Delhi, Aug 30 (UNI) Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said Central Reserve Police Force(CRPF) can play a crucial role for Skill Training of Jammu and Kashmir youth. The Minister stated this during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Central Reserve Police Force(CRPF) and the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) here. Referring to the MoU, Mr Singh said CRPF has its presence even in the remotest areas of the country and it can play a pivotal role in extending the benefits of Skill Development Schemes like Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna to the tribals of Naxal affected areas, where few trainers dare to venture due to security reason.

Mr Singh expressed his pleasure in the collaboration of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) along with the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship.
