Jammu, Aug 1 (IANS) The army is giving training in vehicle driving to the unemployed youth of remote mountainous areas in Rajouri and Reasi districts of Jammu and Kashmir under ‘Operation Sadbhavna’ (goodwill).
“A driving training exercise is being organised for the unemployed youths of Talwara, Reasi and areas of Rajouri district under Operation Sadbhavna (goodwill). It will enable them to get jobs or start self-employment ventures,” an army spokesman said.
