National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) in partnership with Seva Bharti and Yuva Vikas Society on August 20 launched the second phase of Grameen Udyami Project in Ranchi.
Under the initiative, the endeavour is to multiskill India’s youth and impart functional skills to them for enabling livelihoods.
- Grameen Udyami is a unique multiskilling project, funded by NSDC that aims to train 450 tribal students in Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand.
- The project is being implemented in six states— Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Gujarat.
- In the first phase of training, candidates were mobilized from rural and tribal areas of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat.
- Since candidates were mobilized from the rural areas, transportation, boarding & lodging was provided to candidates so that they do not miss out the learning opportunity due to lack of resources.
- Grameen Udyami Yojana is implemented under Sansadiya Parisankul Yojana.
The training under the project will be conducted in the following Job roles which are relevant to the local economy:
- Electrician & Solar PV Installation Technician
