UP Skill Quest 2023 will create awareness about the state’s plans and workings of various departments

The main aim of UP Skill Quest 2023 is to create awareness among the youth and the general public about the state’s plans and the workings of various departments. This event will be organized by Invest UP and will be funded by the Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission. Besides cash prizes, the winners of the quest will also receive certificates from the Skill Development Mission.

According to officials associated with Invest UP, the primary objective of this event is to connect the youth with the industrial development happening in the state. This is to ensure that after completing their education, young people don’t necessarily head to Delhi or Mumbai but rather can benefit from the opportunities emerging in Uttar Pradesh.

Through this event, young individuals will develop curiosity and be inspired to stay within the state. Additionally, they will become familiar with the state government’s plans, development projects, and the functioning of various departments. It is worth noting that people from any state can participate in this quest, not just those from Uttar Pradesh.
