While it is a fact that no target can be fixed as such for compulsory enrolment of skilling  aspirants  belonging  to  the  disadvantaged  sections  under  any  of  the  skilling schemes, it has been the endeavour of the Government to ensure that opportunity for skill  training  is  provided  to  persons  belonging  to  these  sections  through  appropriate provisions  in  budget  for  the  purpose  in  relevant  schemes.
