A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between India and Australia signed for skill development in the agriculture sector.
Australian High Commission today in a statement said, an agreement was signed between the Agriculture Skills Council of India and AgriFood Skills Australia.
Australian and Indian Prime Ministers in October 2012 jointly committed to build bilateral partnerships between skills councils in key sectors such as telecom, retail, mining, media/entertainment and agriculture.
On this initiative, the Australian High Commissioner to India Patrick Suckling said, "This partnership aims to achieve quality industry-led skills training standards in the agriculture sector. With India projected to add 12 to 15 million workers to its labour force every year over the coming decades, employability and productivity gains will be inextricably linked to quality standards."
According to the joint statement it will promote cooperation in creating quality occupational training, assessment, certification, information and stakeholder engagement standards.
