Great initiative by Assam Rifles! But I hope they also create local employment opportunities in Manipur itself. Our youth shouldn't always have to migrate to other states for jobs. Still, skill training is always valuable.

Impressive results - 85% placement rate! The partnership between Assam Rifles and local skill development organizations seems to be working well. This model should be replicated in other conflict-affected regions.

While I appreciate the effort, I'm concerned about the safety and working conditions for these youth, especially the women, when they move to big cities like Mumbai and Delhi. Hope proper support systems are in place.
