Tovra Works, DSU sign MoU for youth skill training

DIMAPUR — In a significant step toward bridging the gap between education and employment in Nagaland, Tovra Works and the Dapfhütsumia Students’ Union (DSU) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), formalising a partnership that puts career-ready skill training directly in the hands of Nagaland's young people.

The agreement, signed in Kohima, marks a shared commitment from both organisations to ensure that no young person in the Dapfhütsumia community is left without a clear path forward after completing their education, an update stated.

“For too long, thousands of young men and women across Nagaland have completed their schooling or graduation only to find themselves without direction, without income, and without opportunity.

“Not because of a lack of talent. Not because of a lack of ambition. But because the right doors were never opened for them,” it stated.

Through the partnership, the DSU will serve as a trusted community bridge, connecting its student network with Tovra Works' professional training programmes in culinary arts and hospitality.

Together, the two organisations will actively reach unemployed and underemployed youth across the Dapfhütsumia area and surrounding regions, providing them with a credible, structured, and financially accessible path into professional careers.

Tovra Works currently offers three professional programmes in affiliation with Atithi Virksha Shikska (AVS) (THSC-certified), in collaboration with IDAN and NSEDM.
