Explanation:

Statement 1 and 3: The programme aims to train youth who have not been able to continue higher education due to different financial or social constraints but has an urge to learn new things and do something fruitful. The government will provide the training in these sectors which are highly sought after, but jobs cannot be guaranteed. India would need around 10.4 crores of new workforces by the year 2022, in various sectors and hence skill development is essential to meet the demand. The green skilled workforce having technical knowledge and commitment to sustainable development will help in the attainment of SDGs, INDCs and National Biodiversity Targets.

Statement 2: Green skills are those skills needed to adapt processes, services and products to climate change and the environmental regulations and requirements related to it. The 'green skills' under the programme include -- biodiversity conservationists, Effluent Treatment Plant operators, air pollution abatement workers, equipment operators, waste handling and candidates for plantation sectors among others.
