Jammu, May 15: The India Skills Competition 2024, the nation’s largest skill event, is set to kick off in New Delhi. Over 900 students from more than 30 states and Union Territories, along with 400 industry experts, will participate in this four-day extravaganza, showcasing skills across 61 categories, from traditional crafts to cutting-edge technologies.

The winners received training through these academic partners to prepare for the national competition.
Today, a contingent of 18 selected candidates from Jammu and Kashmir arrived in New Delhi to showcase their diverse talents in areas such as Beauty Therapy, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, Fashion Technology, Graphic Design Technology, Welding, and Carpentry. The competition will take place from May 15 to 19, 2024. Additionally, one candidate in CNC Turning will compete at the Bangalore venue.
