13.2 How will the project outputs dovetail into the overall development strategy?
In order to compete in emerging markets and run profitable enterprises, young
rural people need to increase their knowledge on business management, marketing,
financial literacy and value chains. Addressing the education and training gaps of young
rural people is becoming even more important as population pressures grow and land
becomes scarce. Young people will need the skills to adopt sustainable production
methods in agriculture and to access opportunities for rural non-farm work. The increased
pressure on the labour markets to absorb growing youth populations in developing
countries also highlights the need to extend and enhance rural education and training
systems, with a focus on matching knowledge and skills with the demands of labour
markets.
Young rural girls are particularly disadvantaged and often have lower literacy
levels than boys. They tend to be more restricted in terms of movement, and are often
overwhelmed by domestic workloads, like taking care of younger children and collecting
water and fire-wood.
13.3 What are the likely impacts on various sections of the society in the area or
neighbouring areas?
This project will break the barriers between rural community with others
This will bring change in the perception of rural young boys and girls towards
their education, technology and employability
13.4 Expectations / estimation when the project will become self-sustaining?
After five years the initiation spark stimulates the following generations
14.0 Review of status:
14.1 Pre-project status:
The role of education in facilitating social and economic progress has long been
recognized. Education improves functional and analytical ability and thereby opens up
opportunities for individuals and also groups to achieve greater access to labour markets
and livelihoods. A better educated labour force is essential if we are to meet the labour
supply requirements of faster growth. Education is not only an instrument of enhancing
efficiency but is also an effective tool of widening and augmenting democratic
participation and upgrading the overall quality of individual and societal life. The
population growth of India has declined over many years, yet the labour is projected to
grow by close to 2% or some 7 million or more per year over next few years.
Modernization and social processes have also led to more women entering the work force
lowering the dependency ratio (ratio of dependent to working age population) from 0.8 in
1991 to 0.73 in 2001 and is expected to further decline to 0.59 by 2011. Skills and
knowledge are the engines of economic growth and social development of any country.
Countries with higher and better levels of knowledge and skills respond more effectively
and promptly to challenges and opportunities of globalisation. India is in transition to a
knowledge based economy and its competitive edge will be determined by the abilities of
its people to create, share and use knowledge more effectively. This transition will require
India to develop workers into knowledge workers who will be more flexible, analytical,
adaptable and multi skilled. In the new knowledge economy the skill sets will include
professional, managerial, operational, behavioral, inter personal and inter functional
skills. To achieve this goals, India needs flexible education and training system that will
provide the foundation for learning, secondary and tertiary education and to develop
required competencies as means of achieving lifelong learning.
Indian Status:
The Unemployment among the educated presents a paradoxical situation. On
the one hand, there is unemployment among the educated rural youth. On the other, there
is critical shortage of certain skills in the market. The situation can be corrected with an
appropriate strategy for bridging the skill gap. Further, there is asymmetry in the job
market information. The information relating to the opportunities is not always available
to the educated youth. Therefore, the promotion of information on the skills needed and
their suitable restructuring and preparation could go a long way in promoting the
educated employment. With proper orientation and additional training, the skill gap can
be bridged and employment promoted, of the educated. What is needed is the initial
orientation, motivation and mentoring. The need of the hour is to identify the market
opportunities for educated youth and to undertake suitable re-orientation and training of
the youth for appropriate salary and self-employment. With globalization and fast
economic growth the manpower needs of different sectors have been undergoing changes
in the market resulting in critical shortages. The aim of the Government of Tamil Nadu is
providing young adults from economically weaker backgrounds an opportunity to
assimilate into the competitive job market. The assimilation process calls for bridging
the ever widening divide between those who have access to opportunities and those who
are increasingly being marginalized from the new jobs by helping the young adults
acquire required livelihood and social skills in an environment of learning and mentoring
that is responsive to the individuals emotional and development needs. The State of
Tamilnadu is one of the most industrialized states in India. The favorable investment
climate created by the State Government, accompanied by strong infrastructure and
resource base has attracted huge investment by multinational companies in Tamilnadu.
The investment in the field of automobile, construction, garments, information &
communication, service industries etc. have created lot of employment opportunities for
rural youth. Though there is high demand for youth employment, shortage of skilled
labor has deprived the opportunities of millions of rural youth in State. Realizing the big
gap between demand and supply of skilled labor, the TNSRLM among other things aims
at making millions of unskilled and semi skilled youth into potential skilled youth
thereby securing sustainable employment. Though Youth Skill Training is designed for
wage employment, there is a scope for self employ youth in State. Realizing the big gap
between demand and supply of skilled labor, the TNSRLM among other things aims at
making millions of unskilled and semi skilled youth into potential skilled youth thereby

employment, there is a scope for self employment also. ment also.

20.0 Risks:
The respondents may or may not follow the advice generated through the research
work. Hence the Government of TamilNadu should implement suggestion with the help
of administrators as well as appointing a nodal officer in the study area.
21.0 Suggested plan of action for utilisation of expected outputs from the
project :
Government and civil societies should create awareness among the tribal people
about the government programmes, needs and advantages of the education among
tribal youth communities .Skill training programmes have to be designed and
organized for school youths..Create awareness that education only should make
the tribal communities economically independent, .
