Udaan program is focused on youth of Jammu & Kashmir who are graduate, post-graduate and three year diploma engineers. The aim is to provide skills and job opportunities to the youth.
Simultaneously, the aim is also to provide exposure to corporate India towards the rich talent pool available in J&K. The target was to reach out to 40,000 youth in J&K over a period of 5 years.
It was observed that youth from J&K were unable to find employment in many companies as either they were unaware of the opportunity in the companies or the companies were unaware of the talent pool that existed in J&K.
