During 2023-24, the Ashrama continued its endeavors towards addressing the root causes of unemployment in rural tribal villages, through its unique model of residential training programmes to build confidence in rural youths and enable them to launch their own enterprises. There are three types of training programmes, which are offered by Divyayan KVK viz. On-campus, Off campus specialized courses and NIOS linked multi skill training curriculum with value education at their core.
All these training programmes are mainly meant for tribal youths with free board and lodging facility sponsored partially by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA), Govt. of India; Deptt. of Welfare, Govt. of Jharkhand; Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) through KVK and others.
Training Programmes for Rural Youth in Agriculture and Allied Trade (On-campus)
Objective of this training programme is to make the trainee self reliant by launching his own enterprise. Hence every trainee needs to undergo extensive practical training. Every effort is made to change the mind set of the trainees and to make them sincere, disciplined and co-operative. Emphasis is also given on developing managerial skills and they are being exposed to real life circumstances to empower them to face any eventuality that may arise during the running of their own enterprises. Training is given in different trades viz. Bee-keeper, Lac Producer, Mali Training/Supervisor, Mushroom Producer, Soil Health Management, Fisheries, Organic Grower, Poultry, Dairy, Pump Repairing, Electrician, Carpentry and Welding. These courses are of 1.5 month, 3 months, and 6 months duration depending upon the trade. During the reporting period (2023-24), 973 trainees were provided training in different trades.
Training Programme on Integrated Farming System for Practicing Farmers and Farm Women (Off-campus)
Training programmes on “Integrated Farming” of 45-days duration are conducted in villages for practicing farmers and farm women as they are unable to attend the long duration residential training programme due to lack of time and their engagement in farming. These training programmes are conducted on different thematic areas like Bee Keeping, lac production, mushroom production etc. During the reporting period (2023-24), 564 trainees were trained in 13
batches.
