Early Times Report
Doda, Aug 22: Aligning to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 on promoting quality education, 2 dedicated ambassadors from the UAE have embarked on a mission to promote ‘EducateNow’, a youth empowerment campaign across the town of Doda District, Jammu, India.
Sameera Fernandes, Global Educationist and Nirbhaya Award Winner, Director – Corporate Affairs, Century Financial and Rashika Rathore, Youth Energiser and a student of Grade 11 from Dubai are on a mission to create awareness on skill development and developing career aspirations which is the need of the hour.
Higher Secondary Schools including Doda, Ghat, Jodhpur, Jatheli, Shadiwal, Parshula and Mohala are some of the schools including in the campaign.
Commented Sameera Fernandes, “The EducateNow initiative focuses on three core areas – Career enhancement opportunities, global industry institute linkages, facilitating differential internships and placements.
We are here to bridge small towns to global education hubs to ensure that quality education prevails and society is elevated on all fronts. This also helps us solve the current youth employment issue which is a big concern post Covid-19”.

Right from offering mentoring, online webinars, access to e-libraries, guest faculty, collaborations on Research, exchange and twinning programmes and scholarships are some of the offering planned as part of the EducateNow initiative.
