He extended gratitude to the Ministry of Home Affairs and the 35th Battalion for funding and implementing the training. He also appreciated the role played by Wyath Services Private Limited in executing the course effectively. “These efforts are crucial in nurturing self-employment and supporting the future ambitions of our youth,” he added.
All 25 participants who completed the training were awarded certificates. The newly certified youth expressed heartfelt thanks to the CRPF for giving them a valuable opportunity that could pave the way for both self-employment and employment in various sectors.
The event concluded with a group photograph of the participants and dignitaries, commemorating the successful culmination of the program. The initiative has been widely appreciated as a benchmark step in promoting grassroots-level skill development and employment generation in the region.
