The Indian government is set to launch NAVYA, a pilot program aiming to equip adolescent girls with vocational skills in non-traditional roles. This initiative falls under the broader vision of 'Viksit Bharat 2047' and underlines the government's commitment to women-led development.
Targeted at girls aged 16-18 who have completed at least Class 10, the program will roll out across 27 districts known for underserved and vulnerable populations.
