Hyderabad: The Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI) launched FTCCI Pokarna Skill Centre which will develop skills among 20,000 candidates in a year.

Commissioner of Technical and Collegiate Education Navin Mittal said 44,000 out of 62,000 students who joined engineering last year chose Computer Science and engineering, and 14,500 electronics while 3,500 chose other streams. “So the industry may expect huge skill gaps in certain sectors in near future,” he said.
