I am also setting up 10 more World Class Skill Centres of Excellence to create 10,000 jobs every year, out of which the work of a state-of-the-art Centre of Excellence at Ludhiana is near completion and will begin training next month," said Sahney.
Sahney said he played a key role in acting as a bridge between the Punjab government and the Centre as he organised an interactive meeting of all MPs of Punjab cutting across party lines to create consensus for resolving issues such as pending rural development fund, stubble burning incentive fund and debt restricting of Punjab.
Sahney, who has not been availing any benefit entitled to the Members of the Rajya Sabha, has donated his salary to a fund called Shahid Bhagat Singh Scholarship established by him under which he has sponsored education of several doctors, pilots and sportspersons.
