TRAINING

During 2019-20, 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 is made 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 skill and they are being exposed to real life circumstances to empower
them to face any eventuality that may arise during the execution of their own enterprises. Training is
given on 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
