The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has scripted a success story in skill development programme. The bank, with the help of the Centre for Employment and Educational Guidance (CEEG), saw total placement when the first batch of students came out after six months’ training in Ayurveda panchkarma.
“It was amazing. All the 60 students who joined the Ayurveda panchkarma training programme supported by NABARD got jobs even before they completed the training. It gives us a big message about the employment prospects of tomorrow,” said Mohammed Riyas, Malappuram district development manager of NABARD.
For CEEG, a 23-year-old non-governmental organisation based at Kottakkal, it was a moment of pride when Mr. Riyas gave away the job placement certificates at a function held last week. And for the students who trained at Kottakkal Ayurveda Academy, Kottakkal, it looked like a life-changing moment.
