The champions from Delhi got 12 gold and 9 silver medals in the IndiaSkills 2021 Regional Competition, leading the list of Northern Zone winners, after a fantastic exhibition of skills, talent, passion, and drive. In total, 109 individuals from eight states and one union territory were proclaimed champions in the competition. The first runners-up received a cash prize of INR 21,000, while the second runners-up received INR 11,000 in prize money.

The closing ceremony of the Northern Regional Competition was also graced by the presence of Dr. Anant Prakash Pandey, Director General, Foreign Cooperation and Mission Director, Haryana Skill Development Mission (HSDM), Government of Haryana, Dr. Neharika Vohra, Vice Chancellor, Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University, Padma Shri Kanwal Singh Chauhan, and Jaikant Singh, Senior Head, WorldSkills India who congratulated the winners and encouraged the youth.

The competition witnessed more than 450 young participants, aged between 19 and 24 years, from eight states and union territories—Chandigarh, Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh—come together and show their potential in over 45 skills such as brick laying, autobody repair, welding, beauty therapy, hotel reception, mobile robotics, health and social care, landscape gardening, carpentry, painting and decorating, web technologies, among others.

The skill competitions were held at 14 Partner Institutes (PIs) in Chandigarh (12), Himachal Pradesh (1) and Uttar Pradesh (1).

Delhi emerges topperMr. Ranbir Gangwa, Hon’ble Deputy Speaker, Government of Haryana said, “Through IndiaSkills, the youth is getting a lifelong opportunity to become a valuable resource for the country. This competition not only enables personal growth and recognition but exposes to the national and global platforms. Today, the world needs a skilled workforce. Therefore, we must try to fully utilise the potential of the youth through skill development. India should always be ready to meet the demand of a skilled workforce. Haryana is also making rapid strides to fulfil this requirement.”

Jaikant Singh, Senior Head, WorldSkills India said, “Under the guidance of Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), NSDC is committed to promote and skill the youth, inculcating entrepreneurial spirit in them through various schemes. IndiaSkills is one such initiative that makes the youth employable as well as pushes them towards creating employment for others. This is an important step in building a new India. NSDC and all stakeholders are tirelessly working to create an efficient skilling ecosystem for the youth of the country.”

Participants for regionals have been selected through competitions organised at the district/cluster and state levels in August-September 2021, which recorded over 250,000 registrations. This year, IndiaSkills Regional Competitions will bring together 1,500 participants from 30 states/union territories across four regions.
