Karnataka Assembly Speaker UT Khader has proposed the setting up of a political training institute in the state for degree-holding youth aspiring to work in the political sphere.
The proposal would be implemented in the near future, and the Pune-based School of Government would be asked to prepare the syllabus, Khader told reporters in Mangaluru on Thursday, 29 June.
UT Khader said the course would be of one-year duration, of which theory classes would be held for six months, and the next six months would be for practical training. The course would also include an internship programme.
The centre would have full-time teaching staff, and train aspiring youth in politics and governance.
Political leaders and experts would also provide training so that graduates can become effective leaders and work alongside MLAs and ministers.
All those who have completed graduation will be eligible to join the course. The syllabus will be prepared in such a way that students can be moulded into politicians, support staff, social workers and government employees.
A suitable location will be found after discussions with the School of Government, Khader said.
