The skill development partners include well-known institutions such as Drona Institute, Mosaic Workskills, and Shubh Drishti, among others. Under this initiative, selected youth will be trained in 19 different vocational trades, carefully identified to meet current industry and service sector requirements.

The training programme includes several high-demand and advanced courses, such as retail sales, medical records assistant, and web developer, along with other job-oriented skills. The courses are designed not only to enhance employability but also to promote self-employment and entrepreneurship, enabling participants to build sustainable livelihoods.

Beyond skill training, the initiative places strong emphasis on employment counselling, placement assistance, and career guidance, ensuring that trainees are supported through the transition from learning to earning. The programme aims to empower youth to become self-reliant and economically independent.

This initiative aligns closely with the broader objectives of the Jharia Master Plan, which focuses on the rehabilitation and resettlement of families displaced due to mining activities, while simultaneously creating long-term livelihood opportunities.

By directly benefiting hundreds of youth in the Belgadia and Karmatand regions, the programme is expected to significantly enhance local employment prospects and contribute to economic empowerment and social stability in the region. BCCL’s effort reflects its continued commitment to inclusive growth and sustainable development in coal-bearing areas.
