INTRODUCTION
The skill training in developing country like India is still the traditional way with age old skill sectors. The new and emerging technology skills are restricted to a certain class of youth and are not available to the most deprived, under privileged class of the society, especially from the remote/backward areas of the country. The marginalized and vulnerable sections and more particularly the adolescents and youth of this section are severely disadvantaged for acquiring these skills for reaping the opportunities offered by the new knowledge economy. These youth deserve a better, new technology skills recovery passage, to jumpstart their career paths, into new growth trajectories, into the future.
The project was designed with specific objective of imparting skill training to the under privileged youth from the remote/backward areas in the new emerging sectors which will give them better opportunity of livelihood as well as self employment in the society.
