Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Jayant Chaudhary flagged off Five New Solar Community Hub Skill Vans to Advance Digital Inclusion and Future-Ready Skilling in India on Tuesday. These skill vans will serve communities across Uttar Pradesh, Delhi/NCR, Karnataka, Telangana and Maharashtra, bringing solar-powered technology, AI-enabled learning and employability pathways directly to youth, women and underserved populations. The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship said that the initiative represents the next phase of one of Dell’s most ambitious global efforts to bridge the digital divide. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Chaudhary said that the Solar Community Hub Skill Vans reflect a shared commitment to making technology and opportunity accessible to every corner of India. He added that more than digital spaces, skill vans are centres of aspiration that combine clean energy, AI-enabled learning and industry-aligned skills to prepare young people for emerging opportunities.

The Ministry further said that the collaboration between Dell Technologies and NSDC  is expected to see these hubs empower communities and strengthen India’s journey towards inclusive growth and a future-ready workforce.
