The Prime Minister’s push to expand AI and green skills, strengthen the university ecosystem and offer free online coaching is a landmark step towards a skilled, inclusive and future-ready Viksit Bharat. By placing Yuva Shakti at the centre of Viksit Bharat@2047, the message is clear — opportunity must reach the last mile.

The responsibility now shifts to us.
Skill universities and CSR-funded programmes must convert this vision into measurable employability — not attendance, not certificates, but jobs and incomes for first-generation learners.

At FUEL that is exactly the model we are building.

Every year our colleges produce lakhs of graduates. How many are employable the day they collect the degree?
The degree is there. The skill is missing. The marksheet is there. The confidence is not. The argument is simple: skill development, scholarships and CSR look like three separate conversations. They are three links in the same chain.
