STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The Maharashtra State Skills University Act, 2021 (Mah. VII of 2021) is

enacted to establish and incorporate the Maharashtra State Skills University

in the State of Maharashtra, a specialized university first of its kind, to create

highly skilled and employable youth, etc. and to provide job-ready workforce

to the industry thus reducing unemployment and ultimately propelling

the economic growth of the State and for matters connected therewith and

incidental thereto.

2. Shri Ratan Tata had consistently emphasized the importance of skill

development for India's growth. He had championed the need for education,

vocational training and skill enhancement, particularly in areas where India

faces challenges, such as in the manufacturing and technology sectors. He has

supported initiatives aimed at upskilling the Indian workforce to align with

the demands of a globalized economy. His efforts through the Tata Group’s

initiatives, such as Tata Strive, focus on providing training to young people,

enabling them to acquire technical and vocational skills.

Considering the precious and exemplary work of Shri. Ratan Tata in the

field of skill development, skill education, vocational training and social reforms

for the development of nation, the Government of Maharashtra had decided

to change the name of “the Maharashtra State Skills University Act, 2021”

as “the Ratan Tata Maharashtra State Skills University Act, 2021” and “the

Maharashtra State Skills University” as “the Ratan Tata Maharashtra State

Skills University”. For the said purposes, it was considered expedient to amend

the Maharashtra State Skills University Act, 2021, suitably.

3. As both Houses of the State Legislature were not in session and the

Governor of Maharashtra was satisfied that circumstances existed which

rendered it necessary for him to take immediate action further to amend the

Maharashtra State Skills University Act, 2021, for the purposes aforesaid, the

Maharashtra State Skills University (Second Amendment) Ordinance, 2024 (Mah.

Ord. XVIII of 2024), was promulgated by the Governor of Maharashtra on the

15^th October 2024.

4. The Bill is intended to replace the said Ordinance by an Act of the

State Legislature.
