This is a great initiative! Many talented youth from Himachal struggle to find good opportunities. Overseas employment could really change lives. Hope they ensure proper safeguards for workers though.

Finally some focus on employment generation! 👏 But I wonder why they're only focusing on overseas jobs when we need local opportunities too. The IT posts are a good start though.

The track and trace mechanism is crucial. Many workers face exploitation abroad. Hope they implement this properly with regular check-ins and support systems.

My cousin went to Dubai through a similar program last year. The family was so worried at first, but now he's doing well! More transparency in these programs will help more families feel comfortable.

While I appreciate the effort, I'm concerned about the implementation. HPSEDC needs to show it has the capacity to handle this responsibly. The recruitment process must be completely transparent to prevent corruption.

Good to see focus on both education (SSA) and employment! The youth need holistic support. Maybe next they can look at skill development programs too? 💪
