As part of the project, around 2.5 lakh young people from the NER would be able to participate in industry-specific skill training sessions. This would be made possible by a variety of schemes and initiatives, including the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS), and Jan Shikshan Sansthans (JSS).

"We are committed to empowering the local youth of NER by instilling not only employability skills but also a resilient entrepreneurial mindset that seamlessly aligns with the ever-changing demands of industries."
