New Delhi, Jun 9 (PTI) Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary on Tuesday flagged off five new solar community hub skill vans, which will serve communities across Uttar Pradesh, Delhi-NCR, Karnataka, Telangana, and Maharashtra, bringing AI-enabled learning and employability pathways to youth, women, and underserved populations.
The initiative is developed by Dell Technologies in collaboration with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and implemented by the Learning Links Foundation.
The skill vans introduce customised skilling modules and structured employability pathways, extending technology-enabled support to over 50 vocational, higher education, and community institutions.
Each unit is powered by renewable energy and equipped with laptops,
interactive screens, internet connectivity, and AI-enabled learning tools, purpose-built to meet communities where they are, not where infrastructure allows.
Chaudhary, the Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, said, “The solar community hub skill vans reflect a shared commitment to making technology and opportunity accessible to every corner of India.
“These vans are more than digital spaces, they are centres of aspiration that combine clean energy, AI-enabled learning and industry-aligned skilling to prepare young people for emerging opportunities.” Since India’s first solar community hub skill vans introduced in FY23, the programme has reached 18 districts across 14 states, directly impacting 2.67 million beneficiaries. Globally, the initiative operates 63 skill vans across 12 countries. PTI RSN TRB
