Jalandhar was the city where the National Commission for Women (NCW) Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar launched the Yashoda AI initiative on August 18, 2026. The initiative is an Artificial Intelligence literacy programme aimed at promoting digital empowerment and increasing women’s participation in emerging technologies. It provides training in areas such as cybersecurity, digital privacy, and safe online practices. The programme was originally initiated by the NCW in 2025. During the visit, the NCW also launched the She Serves programme at a women’s college to encourage young women to consider careers in the Armed Forces.
