Jaipur, May 4 (APAC Media): The Rajasthan government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU), Hyderabad, and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to strengthen foreign language training among students.
Under the initiative, nearly 1,000 students will receive training every year in languages such as French, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean. The programme aims to improve communication skills while preparing students for international career opportunities and emerging global workforce requirements.
The agreement was signed in Jaipur in the presence of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister of Education, Jayant Chaudhary, State Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, and Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma.
Speaking at the event, the Chief Minister noted remarked Rajasthan’s growing tourism sector and how proficiency in foreign languages could open up opportunities in hospitality, travel, tourism, and related industries.
Pradhan said learning languages such as Japanese, Korean, German and French can create new employment avenues for young people, not only in technology-driven sectors but also in skilled trades, marketing, and international business.
“With the growth of tourism, employment opportunities have expanded for guides, hotel managers, travel agents and business professionals proficient in foreign languages,” Pradhan added.
The initiative comes at a time when the government is increasingly focusing on language learning as an employability skill under the broader Skill India framework.
