“It’s about arming our youth with skills across various fields, readying them for entrepreneurship adventures,” emphasized Mr. Lincoln. The training courses are short, making it convenient. Once finished, the government also extends loan support to some, helping them start their ventures.
Soon, 600 trainees will embark on their learning journey here, spanning fields like photography to electrical tasks. An immediate batch of 300 is all set to start.
The ground reality, as highlighted by Mr. Lincoln, is that many grads remain jobless given limited government vacancies. But there’s hope. “This program ensures that upon completion, the youth will find jobs. Not just in Arunachal, but even in major cities,” he shared.
Jesual Dongri shared the vision, echoing PM Modi’s aspiration of having at least one skilled individual in every home. “This is the essence of Skill India,” he remarked.
