Bridging formal higher education with market-oriented technical skilling is vital for creating sustainable livelihood pathways for youth. In alignment with this mission, Rakta Sanjeevani has officially rolled out a specialized vocational skill development training program for the Hair Dresser job role at Nanda Nath Saikia College, Titabar.
This initiative is executed under the bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Nanda Nath Saikia College and Rakta Sanjeevani, established to drive youth skill incubation, vocational readiness, and self-employment. To ensure industry-aligned curriculum delivery and certification, Rakta Sanjeevani has partnered with Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS), Jorhat (operating under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Government of India) as the technical training partner.
A dedicated cohort of 20 candidates has commenced this intensive, hands-on training program.
