JAMMU : The Jammu and Kashmir Tribal Affairs Department has initiated a process to sponsor 250 students for skill development training.

"Aviation sector is a fast growing field facing acute shortage of commercial pilots and flight staff, particularly in South Asia, which is a great opportunity for skilled and trained youth for which an annual batch of 10 commercial pilots and 20 cabin crew will be sponsored by the department,” he said.
In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, he said, there is a need to diversify the health sector and strengthen primary healthcare for which the department is sponsoring students for various courses providing them self-employment opportunities.
