The initiative is part of the Chief Minister’s Skill Upgradation and Global Employment Scheme. The scheme aims to improve youth skills and connect them with international job opportunities.
Second Language Training Centre in the State
The state launched this scheme in 2023. Soon after, the government opened the first language training centre in Dehradun.
Students at the Dehradun centre learn several foreign languages. The centre also helps them apply for jobs in other countries.

Meanwhile, the government continues to monitor people working abroad through this scheme. Officials remain in contact with workers in Saudi Arabia.
Bahuguna informed the Assembly that all workers are safe.
Uttarakhand Recognised for Financial Management
During the Assembly session in Gairsain, Chief Minister Dhami highlighted the state’s financial achievements.
