BRS working president KT Rama Rao praised the Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge (TASK) for its efforts in training students with essential skills. TASK, an initiative started by the former BRS government, recently received recognition from NITI Aayog, India’s top policy think tank.
TASK was launched in 2014 under the leadership of then-Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao. In its latest report, NITI Aayog acknowledged TASK’s role in transforming skill development in Telangana. The report described it as a “model of excellence” for connecting industry, academia, and the government.
Expressing his pride on social media, KT Rama Rao stated, “I am happy to know that NITI Aayog has recognised the BRS government’s efforts in skilling the youth of Telangana. This recognition for TASK proves our commitment to creating a skilled workforce and securing a better future for young people in the state.” He also emphasized that the government would continue working to equip the youth with skills necessary for success in today’s competitive world.
NITI Aayog’s report highlighted TASK’s unique approach to skill development. It noted that TASK has set a benchmark by combining industry-relevant training with affordable education. The think tank also praised the initiative for building a talent pipeline that meets the needs of a modern economy, calling it an outstanding example of state-driven innovation in education and job creation.
Since its establishment in 2014, TASK has played a key role in Telangana’s skill development efforts. As a non-profit organisation, it has focused on improving students’ technological, personal, and organisational skills through affordable training programs.
