PMKK TRAINING IN UTTARAKHAND   A 3-day comprehensive Train the Trainers (TTT) Workshop was conducted by Aayushi Ketkar and Mily Gildiyal from SI Head Office, Delhi at Chandrapuri Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra for the newly inducted trainers of Chamoli, Rudraprayag and Uttarkashi. The Workshop, held from 12 to 14 July, touched upon all key aspects of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yogana 2.0, its aims and objectives, how it is different from its predecessor (PMKVY 1.0), the stringent assessment and evaluation parameters, Qualification Packs (QP) and National Occupation Standards (NOS), attendance and other prerequisites that need to be met. An exclusive session, imparting new tools & techniques for delivering interactive theory sessions for the students that enroll for PMKK, was given to the new Trainers; of whom, some had already teaching experience while others were freshers. The final day saw the newly-inducted trainers give a brief mock class room session of 20 minutes, based on the new knowledge and skills they had acquired over the 2 days of their intensive training. Feedback of their performance was shared with them and their Centre Heads and areas of improvement earmarked for future training and mentoring sessions that will be held online on a weekly basis from Delhi Head Office.     DISASTER MANAGEMENT TRAINING IN UTTARAKHAND   India is prone to natural disasters on account of its geographical features, flanked by the mighty Himalayas and its ever-shifting tectonic plates.  Floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes and landslides have been a recurrent phenomena here. The vision of Sewa International is to be first responder in any disaster – natural or manmade. Hence, recognizing the need to contribute to disaster response and recovery efforts, Sewa International is developing its own mechanism to provide humanitarian assistance during disasters. keeping this in mind, Sewa International Uttarakhand conducted a 3-days Disaster Management Workshop to train its staff as primary responders in rescue and relief operations in time of disaster. The training module included both indoor and outdoor training. This 3-day training was conducted by trained professionals from the State Disaster Management Cell.     SKILL MELA IN UTTARAKHAND Skill India is a national movement bringing together multiple stakeholders on a common platform to maximise the potential of India’s youth. Sewa International celebrated International Skill Day on 15 July. The International Co-ordinator of Sewa International, Mr Shyam Parnade, took to social media on that day to wish all the volunteers and workers of Sewa International as well as all those involved in the noble task of skilling the youth and making them ready to Job. Sewa International organized Kaushal Mela at all our 5 newly formed Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendras (PMKKs) in Uttarakhand viz. Dehradun, Haridwar, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, and Uttarkashi. The trainees participated in the program enthusiastically. The dignitaries present at the events applauded the efforts of Sewa International and assured all support for our project.
