The government launched a pilot program targeting adolescent girls in nine districts across multiple states. NAVYA provides vocational training for females aged 16-18 who completed tenth grade in underserved communities. Officials selected aspirational districts spanning Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Himachal Pradesh for initial implementation. The initiative teaches both traditional skills and emerging technologies like cybersecurity and drone assembly.
Training modules emphasize financial literacy, workplace safety laws and communication abilities alongside technical competencies. Students learn digital marketing, graphic design, solar energy systems and artificial intelligence applications during coursework. The program connects participants with internship opportunities and apprenticeships in growing economic sectors. Officials plan expanding coverage to 3,850 women across 27 districts following pilot completion.
