During the meeting, DC emphasized the need for a proactive and mission-driven approach to maximize the enrollment of unemployed youth under the Mission YUVA initiative. She urged all stakeholders, particularly the YUVA Doots to intensify their efforts and ensure meaningful engagement with youth across the district.
To expedite the outreach, DC assigned a target of enrolling a minimum of 10 youth in each panchayat within the next 10 days. She directed YUVA Doots to conduct field visits and facilitate on-the-ground registration of eligible youth, thereby ensuring access to opportunities in skill development, entrepreneurship, and employment.
