Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The first Indian Institute of Skills (IIS) in the country was established in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The foundation stone for this premier institute was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 19, 2016. The initiative was conceptualized by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) following the Prime Minister's visit to the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) in Singapore. The goal of the IIS is to provide international-standard vocational training and make Indian youth industry-ready. While foundation stones for similar institutes were later laid in Mumbai (2019) and Ahmedabad (2021) under public-private partnerships (e.g., with the Tata Education and Development Trust), Kanpur remains the location of the very first IIS in India.
