Tripura: DSD-DEEP transformative digital learning programme reshaping youth's future

Designed to equip learners with modern, industry-relevant skills, the programme offers an engaging, flexible e-learning experience to boost digital capability across the state.

The mission of DSD-DEEP is clear--to empower young people with essential digital skills that prepare them for employment, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance. Through this initiative, candidates across Tripura are learning critical IT skills, AI tools, workplace readiness, and life skills.

The training is delivered through MKCL's advanced digital platform, which provides interactive lessons, assessments, and hands-on practice.

From remote villages to urban centres, the programme is helping learners build confidence, strengthen digital literacy, and unlock new opportunities. "DSD-DEEP is not just a course--it is a movement towards a digitally skilled and empowered Tripura," the department stated.

Speaking about the ongoing efforts, Sutirtha Paul, Joint Director, Skill Development Department, Government of Tripura, said that the Skill Development Department is conducting such programmes across multiple locations.

"We are providing training to students through ITI, teaching them important computer-based skills involving both hardware and software. They are also learning company-related job rules that will help them in professional environments," she said.

This year, 140 students have been successfully enrolled, with training conducted by MK Seal. The department emphasised that learners are receiving a supportive environment and quality training made possible through the assistance of a partner corporation.

"We brought MKCL to Tripura so that children can gain advanced knowledge and become more capable. Today, the training has been successfully completed, and certificates have been distributed," Paul added. He also expressed his eagerness to share the students' success stories in the coming days.

With continuous expansion plans, the DSD-DEEP initiative is steadily becoming a cornerstone of Tripura's digital growth and youth empowerment journey.

"The Skill Development Department is conducting programmes in various places. We are providing training to all the students through the ITI, teaching them many important skills. Through computer-based training, they are learning both hardware and software. There are company-related job rules as well, which they will follow while working on computer-related tasks," Paul said.

"This year, we were able to enrol 140 students. The trainer conducting the sessions here is MK Seal. We believe that the children will get a good learning environment and proper space for training. This initiative has been carried out with the support of one of our corporations. We plan to implement similar programmes in many other places as well," she added. (ANI)
