SRINAGAR: The importance of young generation to our society and economy has stayed undiminished over the years. Indeed without providing livelihood security to the youth of valley, we cannot achieve the goal of inclusive growth in its true sense. This can be achieved only by engaging the youth in the activities by which they can skill equip themselves and can constructively participate in the growth of economy which in turn will lead to prosperity.
Skill
development programme being run at ITI, Bandipore is another step
forward to bring the youth of valley to the centre stage and to make
them participate in nation building activities by using their skills for
the overall growth of the state, as the youth are the workforce of
state who can contribute in economic growth. This programme is being run
under the aegis of army with collaboration with DRF (Dr Reddy’s
Foundation) which is giving training in various fields like ITES, CRS
and Hospitality to the youth who are constrained by low income,
inadequate skills, irregular employment, absence of opportunities for
training and development, indebtedness and weak bargaining power at the
economic / social level and getting them placed with various companies.
The programme started on 16 Dec 2011 for a duration of two months with a
strength of 85 students. It is a venture - a first of its types in
which all the stake holders (Civil Administration and Army) have held
hands together to skill equip the youth of a remote town of Bandipora
for a better future. The whole course was divided into various heads
like Induction Stage, Interactive Training Stage, Field Visit and
Survey, Parent’s counselling Industrial Interface, Guest and Alumni
Lecture.
The
entire group was taken to Vodafone BPO in Srinagar as part of their
training under the head of field visit and survey which was their fourth
field visit after KISHANGANGA PROJECT, CAFÉ COFFEE DAY and TAJ VIVANTA
at Srinagar. These
visits have given a different and broader outlook to them in respect of
work culture and ethics of coorporate world. In words of Mr Shafiq
Ahmed Bhat, it was their first expereience when they have got a chance
to speak to employees of vodafone BPO who explained them about the work
of various people working there as tellecallers and technical
assistants.
Another student of hospitality, Miss Shaheena Banoo shared
her experience about their visit to Taj Vivanta where they were
introduced to the
various fields of hospitality industry which covers a wide range of
organizations offering food service and accommodation, which is divided
into sectors according to the skill-sets required for the work involved
like accommodation, food and beverage, meeting and events, gaming,
entertainment and recreation, tourism services, and visitor information.
The whole of the students came back with fire in their belly to do well
and work.
