Good initiative, but the real challenge is on-ground implementation. My cousin in Dehradun tried to register for a similar scheme last year and faced endless paperwork. I hope this online portal is truly user-friendly for workers who may not be tech-savvy.

Focusing on plumbers, carpenters, and electricians is smart. There's always a shortage of good skilled labour, and people end up paying a premium. If local youth get certified training, it will stop migration from the hills and boost the local economy. Jai Uttarakhand! 🙏

The centralized database is a key feature. It will help employers find certified workers easily. However, they must ensure data privacy and security are not compromised. Overall, a positive move towards formalizing the skilled workforce.

Appreciate the intent, but will the training be free or subsidized? And what about placement guarantees? Skill development is useless without job linkages. The CM's instruction to collect feedback from entrepreneurs is crucial—training must match market demand.

Preventing duplication is a major win. So many schemes suffer from the same people registering multiple times to claim benefits. A transparent, online system with proper checks can save a lot of taxpayer money and make the process fair for all.
