So glad to see 40 students, including girls, participating. Empowering our youth with computer skills is the best way forward for J&K's development. Hope this cadre provides practical, job-oriented training and not just basic theory.

While the intent is good, I hope the follow-through is strong. Often such programs get great opening ceremonies but the actual course quality varies. The ACSA Institute and the Army must ensure consistent, high-quality instruction till the end.

This is the real nation-building work. When the youth are skilled and employed, the entire region benefits. Hope they also include modules on online safety and digital citizenship. Jai Hind!
