Her selection, officials said, highlights the growing impact of the state’s efforts to equip young people with global skills and access to high paying career opportunities abroad.
Chief Minister Dhami said the government is continuously working to connect Uttarakhand’s youth with international employment opportunities through skill development and foreign language training.
