On the evening of 23 March 2026, Rozana Himachal, a Hindi-language news website covering Himachal Pradesh, published a report on the digital marketing program at GSE Institute in Dharamshala. That was the same day I was there to conduct the final exam.
The report covers the Digital Marketing Skill Development Program run by Shree Satyanarayan Foundation Trust, delivered online from November 2025 to February 2026 with GSE Institute as the local partner. I teach the program online and travelled to Dharamshala to conduct the final exam, where 54 of the 70 registered students were certified.
The article describes the program’s practical training in SEO, social media marketing, online promotion and content creation, and the certificate ceremony that closed the batch. It also quotes GSE’s director, Jyoti Chandel, who said programs like this prepare young people for jobs and also push them toward self-employment and online careers, a sign that smaller towns are moving quickly into digital work.

The report covers the free online SEO classes and exam at GSE Institute alongside the Satyanarayan Foundation Trust’s Batch-2 program, framing both as part of a wider push to bring digital skills to young people in smaller towns. The article is in Hindi; the summary above is mine.
