      Limited, a Mauritius-based firm, has sought   the
      services of 500 ITI-trained youths.

      Nitish cabinet said the proposal has been sent to   the
      government by company’s Joint Managing Director

      shortage of skilled professionals and   had sought Bihar
      government’s cooperation in this regard.
