SETWIN asked to offer advanced courses

By Our staff reporter

HYDERABAD, JUNE 30. The Chief Minister's Empowerment of Youth Programme (CMEY) will be linked with the Society for Employment Promotion and Training in Twin Cities (SETWIN) activities so that the beneficiaries could easily secure loan assistance.

This was decided at a review meeting of SETWIN activities undertaken by the Minister for Youth Services and Sports, Mr. T. Sitaram, here on Friday. He took stock of the on-going training programmes and those planned in future.

The Minister, who also holds charge of CMEY, after interacting with the in-charges of different SETWIN centres in the city, suggested that the organisation widen the scope of its courses such as hotel management, advanced beautician, advanced computer courses like Java, C ++.

Mr. Sitaram and the Director of Youth Services, Mr. T. Subramanyam, wanted SETWIN to start a vehicle maintenance workshop for four-wheelers at its Meeralam Tank centre, where an area of 5.5 acres was available. This centre was started recently. It runs seven regular courses.

Mrs. Chandana Khan, Secretary, Youth Services and Sports, agreed to this suggestion and said the workshop would be started as early as possible.

The Minister later inaugurated a free one-day medical camp for the employees and students of SETWIN. Five doctors offered their services.

Mr. R. Vijayakumar, Managing Director, SETWIN, and other officials of the organisation attended the review meeting.
