• Under Chief Minister Sri Suvendu Adhikari's s leadership, the YCTC initiative received renewed emphasis as part of a broader vision to empower youth and bolster technical education. The government highlighted the uniformity of course tenure, curriculum, and subsidized fees, significantly lower than private institutes, as a cornerstone of the program. This aligned with the state’s “Egiye Bangla” campaign to drive progress through education and skill development.
