The objective of the yatra is to take information on skill development, career counselling and employment-oriented training programmes to students, youth and trainees associated with AISECT centres. The campaign is an important initiative towards preparing youth in line with changing technological requirements and future employment opportunities.
Organised by AISECT, the yatra will reach various districts of Madhya Pradesh and interact with students, youth and educational institutions.

Through this, students of schools, colleges and other educational institutions will be made aware of the importance of skill development, career options and training programmes.
On this occasion, Scope Global Skills University Chancellor Siddharth Chaturvedi said, “In today’s changing times, academic knowledge alone is not enough; students must also have technical proficiency and practical skills. AISECT’s Skill Development Yatra is an important effort to introduce youth to future technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence and digital skills. Such initiatives help students recognise their abilities, choose the right career options and prepare for new employment opportunities.”
Scope Global Skills University Vice-Chancellor Vijay Singh said, “The purpose of education is not only to impart knowledge to students but also to prepare them for the challenges of real life and the workplace. Skill development, career counselling and training in line with industry needs are important parts of today’s education system. This yatra by AISECT will give students an opportunity to understand the importance of skill-based education and plan their future better. We believe this campaign will encourage among youth the spirit of learning, innovation and self-reliance.”
Scope Global Skills University Registrar Sitesh Kumar Sinha said, “The Skill Development Yatra is an effective medium to strengthen dialogue among students, educational institutions and training centres. Through career counselling, youth get help in understanding training and employment options according to their interests and abilities. Awareness about AI and other emerging technologies is especially important for today’s students. Such campaigns will help take skill-based education to a wider level and prepare youth for future requirements.”
AISECT India Senior Manager – National Network Rajesh Panda said, “The Skill Development Yatra is an important effort to take opportunities for skill-based education and training to students and youth through AISECT’s nationwide network. Our aim is not only to provide information about courses, but also to give youth the right direction according to their interests, abilities and employment prospects. Through this campaign, we want to connect with students and educational institutions in various regions and increase awareness about future skills, digital technology and employment-oriented training, so that more and more youth can develop their skills and prepare for future opportunities.”
Special emphasis will be placed on future skills and AI literacy. In view of the rapid changes taking place in Artificial Intelligence, digital technology and industries at present, special focus during the yatra will be on informing students about skills useful for the future. Through the campaign, youth will be encouraged to develop technical proficiency, identify skills required for employment and choose career options according to their interests and abilities.
At various stops of the yatra, seminars, workshops, career counselling sessions and training-related information will be shared as per locally available programmes. Through these activities, students will get an opportunity to understand the role of skill development and become familiar with the importance of practical and employment-oriented training along with higher education.
