Haryana Withdraws IT Saksham Yuva Scheme After 21 Months Citing Low Response

The Haryana government discontinued the 'IT Saksham Yuva Scheme, 2024' just 21 months after its launch, as announced in an April 27 notification from the Citizen Resources Information Department. The scheme, part of 'Mission 60,000', aimed to provide skill training and employment to 5,000 youth in IT-related fields through a three-month program conducted by HARTRON, HKCL, and SVSU. Officials cited poor response and overlap with other apprenticeship programs as reasons for its closure.
