As part of the joint initiative, DNS Arya Samaj and Rotary Club of Delhi South will engage reputed training organisations and corporate houses via public-private partnerships to support the training on specific skills. One of the intensive programs on advanced course in mental health will be led by the esteemed Prof. Nand Kumar from the Department of Psychiatry at AIIMS, run from June 1st to June 30th and is limited to 30 participants. AIIMS is committed to supporting its graduates and will not only provide them with in-depth knowledge but also ensure their placement and assist them in their future endeavours in the field of mental health.
Chief Guest, Mr. Tejendra Khanna said, “I warmly congratulate the Rotary Club of South Delhi and Arya Samaj, Vasant Vihar, for joining hands to provide a very valuable opportunity to interested youth to acquire skills, which can open doors of both employment and self-employment for them and enable them to earn honest livelihoods. With its strong roots in our country’s core moral values and commitment to serving the well-being of all, Arya Samaj, Vasant Vihar, will no doubt play a key role in reinforcing among the trainees, the moral values of uprightness and kindness towards all fellow beings.”
Speaking at the occasion, President Pramod Agarwal, Rotary Club Delhi South said, “Our country needs infrastructure to provide skill training and more importantly upgrade the skills. Skill Training Center at DNS Arya Samaj Skill Centre, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi is a modest attempt to attract youth for skilling themselves in specialized areas like refrigeration, banking, CCTVs, etc. and join in the noble task of nation building. I would encourage corporate houses to leverage the facility in the heart of capital and lend their helping hand. Together we can transform the skill set of our youth, the key competitive advantage for us as a nation.”
