In Dehradun, Uttarakhand's Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami held a pivotal meeting focusing on the gaps in skill development and employment opportunities for the youth. Despite a rise in technical training, job placements remain insufficient, prompting strategic measures to enhance industry collaboration and curriculum relevance.

In an essential meeting at Dehradun's Secretariat auditorium, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami scrutinized the state's skill development efforts, highlighting the pressing issue of job placements despite increased technical training.
