While the initiative is good, I hope the government ensures proper follow-up on job placements. Many skill programs promise jobs but don't deliver. Also, why only 240 seats for 2025-26? Assam needs much larger scale programs!

My cousin was part of this batch! He got trained in electrical work and already has an offer from Dubai. Our family is so proud. These programs are changing lives in Northeast India. Jai Hind!

As someone working in HR, I'm impressed by the overseas placements. Indian skilled workers are in high demand globally. This could be a game-changer for Assam's economy through remittances. Well done!

Hope they include more women in future batches. Skill development should be equally accessible to daughters of Assam too. Otherwise great initiative! 👏

The focus on Scheduled Castes is commendable. But what about other backward communities? Skill development should be inclusive for all economically weaker sections, not just SCs.
