Digital Empowerment Of Poor and Challenged Girls.

Empowering Girls through Skill Development Training

Disadvantage youths including female  with focus on dalit, and ultra poor household are the project target group. Concentration has been made on disadvantage youths belonging to dalit, and poor families, as they have very less land holding. Education of the target group is minimum 10^th class, lacking technical expertise and hence they are unable to get even clerical jobs. Induction of more sophisticated and modern technology has bounded the recruitment of manpower. It compels youth to engage themselves in labour work (i.e. in agriculture, brick factory, house construction etc.) but it doesn’t give them long time employment and are also exploited by landlord. Youth with 10^th and 12^th class pass are illiterate to computer education, where there is great opportunity of employment at anywhere.

Unemployment causes acute frustration among youth. Unemployment is a major human problem of the area as the employment is the only solution of the poverty. It affects schedule caste/dalit, backward caste and poor family. In this line when we consider unemployment of youth it is heart-breaking. No of unemployed youth especially in deprived family is gradually increasing.

Community will identify the disadvantage youth by participatory approach & organisation survey .

Objectives:

• Employable Skill training and capacity building of youths.
• To minimize gender inequality at the society.
• To converge rural poor with govt. schemes and programs.
• To develop entrepreneurship skill among youth and women through training and facilitate for their sustainable livelihood .
• To aware and educate the community for initiating convergence with govt. skill program.
