DODA: A day-long training-cum-orientation programme for Yuva DOOTs under Mission YUVA, successfully concluded today at MCC hall of District Employment and Counselling Centre.
The programme aimed at capacity building of the Yuva DOOTs to empower them with the skills and knowledge required to support and motivate potential entrepreneurs at the grassroots level. These trained youth volunteers will serve as key motivators within their respective panchayats to promote self-employment and entrepreneurship among the local youth.
Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Doda, Anil Kumar Thakur, presided over the event as the chief guest. In his address, he emphasized the importance of youth empowerment and the pivotal role Yuva DOOTs can play in fostering entrepreneurship at the village level.
During the training, participants received comprehensive guidance on their roles and responsibilities, including awareness generation, beneficiary mobilization, and facilitation of government self-employment schemes. The training session emphasized the importance of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for monitoring the effectiveness of the initiative, ensuring that the Yuva DOOTs remain result-oriented in their approach.
At the outset, AD Employment presented detailed insights from the baseline survey conducted earlier to identify youth with entrepreneurial potential. The session helped Yuva DOOTs understand the scope of their intervention and align their efforts accordingly. The training also included interactive sessions, allowing Yuva DOOTs to engage in discussions, seek clarifications, and contribute valuable suggestions.
Resource persons from NABARD, JK Bank and Employment Officer from DE&CC Doda delivered sector-specific guidance through PowerPoint presentations and live demonstrations of the Mission YUVA App/Portal, ensuring hands-on familiarity with digital tools and platforms associated with the mission.
