Udaan's Engagement

To engage with key stakeholders, NSDC distributed Udaan's communication pack to all the nodal officers in the state. The pack included information such as monthly update, brochure, newsletters and candidate testimonials. We believe this will further empower the nodal officers to reach out to the target audience and motivate them to come forward and join the scheme.

A delegation of representatives from Ministry of Home Affairs and NSDC visited Kashmir for an interactive session with the nodal officers Mr. B R Sharma, Principal Planning and Development and the Udaan Mission Management team. The aim of the visit was to understand some of the challenges in scaling-up the scheme, streamline the processes, finalize the plan for coming year and to ensure the benefit of the scheme reaches to every section of the society in Jammu & Kashmir.

Candidate Stories

Udaan Scheme touching the lives of youth of Jammu and Kashmir

I am a Mechanical Engineering Graduate from Jammu. I got the opportunity of getting trained with Shahi Exports through Udaan. After joining the training program I have learnt several new concepts which I am sure will help me in future. I have also been able to improve my communication skills. I have made new friends. We visited famous places like Red Fort, Bangla Sahib and Lotus Temple. My sincere thanks to Shahi Exports and Udaan for providing me such a platform to make my dream come true.

Udaan Candidate Lovejeet Singh

I am Mudasir Nazir, a Mechanical Engineering graduate from Srinagar district. The training experience at Shahi Exports was phenomenal. I have attained managerial skills and competencies for my professional life. The faculty was cooperative and friendly and we sincerely appreciate their commitment and enthusiasm. They motivated us and boosted our morale. I have developed a positive attitude towards my career and I am confident of achieving my goals easily. Before coming here, we were unpolished and had no idea of working in a corporate world but after the training, we are completely transformed.

Udaan is truly a remarkable initiative and I am proud to be a part of this program. I urge the youth of Jammu and Kashmir to come forward and be a part of Udaan.

Udaan Candidate Mudasir Nazir

I am Sheikh Touseef Rashid. I have recently completed my Masters in Social Work from Kashmir University. I am extremely thankful for the training and guidance given to me by Shahi Exports through the project Udaan. It gave me a chance to explore the world outside Jammu and Kashmir. The faculty at Shahi Exports training center has not only taught me technical aspects but also professional skills. With the help of behavioural training, I have been able to improve myself. If I had not been given this opportunity I would have been the same person as I was a month ago. I can feel the change in myself. At last I would like to say Project Udaan encourages the youth of Jammu and Kashmir to explore the world of learning outside the state and grab the opportunity to be successful.
