GTA Skill Centre executed Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) trainings for Gorkhaland Personnel (GLP) recruited during the previous statehood agitation. With the support of the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (semi-autonomous administrative body), the first batch of training has been completed with more than 75% placements in some of the leading hospitality chains.

I lost my father during the Gorkhaland movement of 2008. I was in great shock for many years, was misled and had no zeal to work. I started relying on alcohol and drugs. There was no drive, no fire in my belly to do something. The Skill India Mission has brought upon a huge change in my life. I am motivated, have stopped drinking and now aspire to do something big for my country. After completing my training programme, I was groomed for interviews and now, have joined one of the leading food chains - Burger King, in New Delhi. Thanks to Skill India for changing my life.
