Sir,
This has reference to the UDAAN Scheme launched by the Government of India for providing training to J&K youth.
The vision and objective enshrined in the constitution of Udaan scheme has been nullified by the immature implementation on the ground level.
It has been already an year since inception of this scheme. We have been sitting on crossroads with no real chance of getting employment. There are certain drawback which need to be considered.
The training being provided by majority of the partners in this scheme is primarily producing call centre executives and it no way helps our technical skill development get an impetus.What is the point of imparting such training to engineering graduates who spent so much on professional education.This could specifically be provided to Arts Graduates or other non professional courses.
The partners are not properly educating us about the kind of work the selected candidates are going to do.Primarily most of them are misleading the youth in the name of MNC culture.
Further by using the name of Govt sector companies , certain non reputed companies work under this garb.
The drop out ratio from such trainings is rising and is astonishingly high.So no real employment.
The candidates who donot like the curriculum or training are deprived of further opportunities from UDAAN.
It is therefore requested that before the Govt.of India takes this scheme further kindly make an assessment of actual employment figures in realistic terms by listening the number of candidates who actually work in the companies through Udaan.
The vision may have been high but unfortunately due to mismanagement at the implementation level, it is not serving the long term objectives of youth
Yours etc….
