Skill Upgradation of Beneficiaries
 

The basic livelihood of a poor household is based on his own as well as family labour, which they invest to earn daily wage and food. The communities mainly indulge in unskilled labour oriented activities. Wherever need arises for specific skill, the community hires the skill from outside thus resulting in an out flow of resources from the village.


In general, the supply of unskilled labour is more than adequate against the demand which again results in reduced wage rate so as to accommodate the whole community to provide employment. Looking into these complexities, the programme aims to support the communities in enhancing their skill set to meet the skill demand at the village level through activity trainings for strengthening their livelihood and developing a potential human capital, which can be utilized by the communities as support services thus resulting in a livelihood option for the individuals who acquire the skill. This Capacity Building of communities will fill the gaps between the existing skill base and the required skill base for taking up the activities selected by the communities in order to enhance their livelihood. These trainings and exposures will cover components such as land & water management, agriculture & horticulture development, livestock & aquaculture development, participatory

forest management, development of community infrastructure etc. Besides, specific skill development training for non farm activities will be provided to the SHGs and other groups. Each sub sector (Livelihood Enhancement Component) will have its own strategy of implementation

indicating the capacity building needs. The above sub sector strategies will again be triangulated with the Training Need & Strength Assessment (TNSA) to be conducted for the communities which will identify the specific skill gaps and training needs depending upon the livelihood plan of the village. The total allocation under this sub component is Rs. 1.80 lakhs per MWS spread over the entire programme cycle. The training or exposure under this will have to be conducted before the intended activity is taken up at the village level.
