“We will introduce the ‘SAHAS’ Yojana (Skilling Assistance for Hill Adventure Sports) to provide 100% training aid and equipment cost coverage upto ₹ 1 Lakh for aspiring instructors every year.”
Adventure training support exists, including a myScheme listing for Adventure Training for Youth and UTDB-backed first aid/CPR training for guides, but I did not verify the SAHAS scheme with 100% training and equipment aid up to ₹1 lakh for aspiring instructors every year. Skilling intent partly delivered, but not the promised SAHAS benefit design or equipment-cost coverage. Budget: UTDB reportedly shares 50% of first-aid/CPR guide training cost in one programme; no ₹1 lakh per instructor SAHAS allocation found.
