The fair was inaugurated by Sangita Lal, Director, District Rural Development Agency and District Skill Officer, Ranchi.

In the first phase, the Centum Skill Development Centre in Ranchi is undertaking skilling in three job roles – Sewing Machine Operator – Apparel, Call Center Executive - Telecom, Electrician - Construction Sector, Trainee Associate – Retail. These courses are being conducted under the Saksham Jharkhand Kaushal Vikas Yojana (SJKVY), which aims to provide quality skills training aligned with the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) and responsive to industry needs.
