History

Historical Context

The Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, established in 1973, aimed to provide job training for millions, successfully training over 1 million individuals annually, including marginalized groups. This historical initiative laid the groundwork for contemporary programs like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's 26 projects and Uttar Pradesh's Rojgaar Mahakumbh, which continue to enhance youth employability and address unemployment in a rapidly evolving job market.
