New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday attended the first board meeting of the Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University.

The University, according to the Delhi chief minister, will give job-oriented training to the students.

"The first board meeting of Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University was held today. I met all the board members. The objective of the university is to ensure that the students who pass out from here get the jobs they want," Kejriwal's tweet read.

The Delhi Legislative Assembly in December 2019 had passed the bill to set up the university.

Kejriwal had then said that it will "resolve employment issues and boost the economy."

He had added that students of the university will create jobs for others through their entrepreneurial ventures.

"The university will focus on industry interface and futuristic research of the job markets, creating jobs and preparing the youth to be employable," he said.
