objective
A major problem faced by educated youth in rural areas is the lack of locally available employment opportunities. It results in frustration and consequent migration of rural youths towards cities and towns. If rural youth get adequate opportunities for taking up gainful ventures at the local level, they would not only be able to improve their well be-ings but will also contribute the nation capital formation. Self employment is the possible solution to this problem. A small step even in remote village can prove to be a milestone in this direction. Udyamita Vidyapeeth aims to transform rural youth to acquire a productive identity through short duration interventions, which include awareness campaign, motivational camps, unemployed rural youth sammelans, forma-tion of rural youth committee, formation and management of self help groups, training for improving the skills of traditional artisans, entrepreneurship and value addition skill development programmes and micro financing. The centre caters to youth in the age group of 18 to 35 years. The centre is particular in identifying the aptitude and inter-est of the rural youth to take the self employment. This is done by organizing interface with experts in camps and sammelans in rural areas and this provides the centre with valuable clues regarding the potential of the rural youth. The centre employs a path breaking approach of training youth for self employment ventures.
