The Haryana government has launched the IT Saksham Yuva Scheme 2024 to boost youth empowerment and employment.

• This initiative aims to provide jobs for 5,000 young individuals in its initial phase.
• It is part of the broader Mission 60,000, announced during the 2024-25 budget speech by former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, which seeks to employ at least 60,000 youths from underprivileged backgrounds.
• Under this scheme, graduates and post-graduates with IT backgrounds will undergo a specially designed short-term course called the Haryana IT Programme, lasting a minimum of three months. Upon completing the course, participants will be placed in various state departments, boards, corporations or private entities.
