through various skill development initiatives.

Lal Khattar to skill and provide employment opportunities for the youth in the
state. Launched on the occasion of World Youth Skills Day,

the employment potential for two lakh youth in the state by way of jobs in the
Government and private sector as well as through self employment. Skill
development is key to professional growth and we will thus, be working with
various bodies, and companies like Ola to customise and upgrade the existing
training infrastructure. Through ‘SakshamSaarthi’, the government will be able
to mobilize the untapped potential of the youth in our state and support them
in their journey towards entrepreneurship.

India’s biggest industrial hubs, Haryana is growing at a massive pace. There
are ample opportunities for our youth and through the right set of skills, a
sustainable and respectable living is an achievable target. Under the
leadership of our hon’ble Chief Minister, we are confident of achieving our target
of 2 lakh job opportunities. We appreciate Ola’s efforts in supporting the
Government’s vision and mission.

a difference in all the states where we operate our services. Haryana is a key
market for us, with cities such as Gurgaon, Faridabad, and Panchkula, etc.
contributing significantly to our growth. Given the ease of doing business in
the state, backed by progressive initiatives such as ‘Saksham Haryana’, we are
proud to work with the Government of Haryana. In fact, all such efforts go a
long way in contributing to the all -round development of the state and in the
