Empowerment takes center stage in Jammu and Kashmir as the Assistant Bookkeeping Training initiative lights the path for unemployed youth. With complete government funding, it’s a game-changer in skill-building.
The three-month program immerses trainees in core competencies: financial statements, inventory accounting, compliance with Companies Act, and fintech integrations. Expert instructors and guest sessions from industry leaders enrich the experience.
Accessibility is key – women and rural youth receive priority, with transport and hostel facilities included. ‘Our goal: zero dropouts, 100% placement,’ affirms director Vikram Singh.
Testimonials paint a vivid picture. 19-year-old Rahul from Jammu credits the course for his ₹20,000 job at a logistics firm, while a group of 15 women now run a cooperative’s accounts seamlessly.
Economically, it’s a multiplier: trained bookkeepers support 10x more jobs indirectly through efficient business operations. Projections show 1,500 placements in the coming year.
Overcoming hurdles like power outages, the program uses offline modules and solar-powered centers. This model could inspire similar drives nationwide, proving skill training’s power to uplift communities.
