The Fair themed ‘Building Youth for the Nation’ was attended by around 720 youths and students from various local schools and colleges, youth and students’ unions from far flung villages of Peren district.
The fair was organised with the sole objective of raising awareness on how various job opportunities across all platforms require not just educational qualifications but also refined soft skills where standards are rising on an everyday basis, the AR stated.
Various walk-in kiosks were set up to further highlight qualification requirements and skill-based training being provided from military recruitment to craft-based entrepreneurship and improve the understanding of marketing strategy and generate awareness on broader marketplace conditions for the rural populace and to generate sustainable entrepreneurship opportunities among the village communities, it further said.
