The Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission (UPSDM) has unveiled a comprehensive co-curricular calendar designed to enhance both technical skills and personal development among rural youth. This initiative will incorporate a variety of activities throughout the year, including yoga, sports, cyber security, and digital literacy, under the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana. Each skill center will establish six clubs focused on cultural, sports, digital, literature, environmental, and entrepreneurial development, mandating at least two female trainees in each club. Minister for Vocational Education, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Kapil Dev Aggarwal, emphasized that the calendar will feature events aligned with national and international days, cultural festivals, and career-oriented workshops. Notable monthly themes include health and wellness in June and digital literacy in December, with activities aimed at fostering leadership qualities and preparing youth for the corporate environment. The initiative reflects a commitment to not only enhance technical skills but also to develop confident and articulate individuals ready for modern challenges.
