March 8, Chadoora: A one-day Entrepreneurship Fair was organized at Town Hall, Chadoora, by the District Employment and Counselling Centre, Budgam, under Mission YUVA, to promote entrepreneurship and self-employment among the youth.
During the event, stalls were set up by various government departments showcasing different self-employment schemes, job opportunities, and financial assistance available for aspiring entrepreneurs. Participants were informed about government support aimed at encouraging new business ventures.
Officials at the stalls provided detailed guidance to visitors regarding the procedures for establishing businesses and accessing benefits under various welfare and employment schemes. Youth participants actively interacted with department representatives to seek clarification on financial aid and training opportunities.
