DODA: Udhayam Jagriti 4.0 sessions on Mission YUVA were today organised at the Industrial Training Institute (ITI) Doda and several other Educational Institutions in the District. Deputy Director Employment Rafiq Ahmad Jaral imparted awareness to ITI trainees on the significance of entrepreneurship and the opportunities available under Mission YUVA. He motivated them to channelize their talent and creativity towards nation-building and to emerge as job creators rather than job seekers.
The programme was hosted by ITI Superintendent and attended by the faculty members of the institute and around 130 trainees. Earlier, the students were also sensitized about the objectives of Mission YUVA, which seeks to harness the potential of youth by equipping them with relevant skills, fostering innovation, and enabling them to contribute effectively to society and the economy.
The event concluded with an interactive session where students raised queries regarding entrepreneurship, start-ups, and skill development opportunities, which were addressed in detail by the Deputy Director. Meanwhile, similar Udhyam Jagriti awareness programmes were hosted across government colleges and polytechnics of the district, where the Nodal Officers of Udhyam Jagriti delivered lectures on Mission YUVA and entrepreneurship. A total of 350 students participated in these sessions.
Furthermore, Women Self Help Group (SHG) members were also engaged under the initiative, with 160 participants from various blocks and panchayats attending awareness programmes conducted by Block Project Managers (BPMs).
