Translating the vision of a ‘Viksit’ and future-ready Delhi into community-level action
Delhi is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by Artificial Intelligence, digital technologies, automation and emerging technologies, creating new opportunities in education, employment, entrepreneurship and citizen services. At the same time, it is essential to ensure that youth, women, economically weaker sections and underserved communities have access to the skills and opportunities required to participate in this emerging digital economy.
Inspired by the broader vision of Hon'ble Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta for a Viksit, inclusive and future-ready Delhi, Shri Harish Khurana has sought to translate this vision into a community-level initiative through Jan Kaushal Kendra. The initiative is based on the belief that the benefits of Delhi's technological and economic progress should reach citizens at the grassroots level and that every neighbourhood should have access to opportunities for learning, skilling, innovation and livelihood development.
Jan Kaushal Kendra has therefore been conceived as a Community AI & Future Skills Ecosystem and Community Innovation Hub, going beyond the conventional skill training centre. It will provide a local platform where citizens can learn, upskill, access opportunities, develop livelihoods and contribute to their communities. The Kendra will integrate AI and Future Technologies, Digital Literacy, Career Readiness, Employability, Entrepreneurship, Financial Literacy, Government Scheme Awareness, Digital Citizen Services, Community Leadership and Disaster Preparedness.
With a special focus on youth and women, the initiative seeks to strengthen employability, encourage entrepreneurship and self-employment, promote digital inclusion and ensure that underserved communities are not left behind in Delhi's digital transformation. The approach is designed to create a continuous pathway from learning to skilling, skilling to opportunity, and opportunity to livelihood and empowerment. Aligned with the broader priorities of Viksit Bharat @2047, Digital India, Skill India, AI for All, Women-led Development and Inclusive Community Development, Jan Kaushal Kendra seeks to create local centres with a future-ready vision — where technology becomes accessible, skills become opportunities and communities become active participants in development.
Ultimately, the initiative aims to empower citizens to learn, innovate, connect, earn and contribute, creating stronger, digitally empowered and future-ready communities and contributing to the vision of a Viksit Delhi and Viksit Bharat @2047.
