Though agriculture is the main source of livelihoods, rural areas witness changes in income generation pattern through non-farm activities also. Evidence indicates that better education and training could increase the chances of providing high-paying non-farm employment. Also, the penetration of such education is less or nil in rural areas. This increases the migration of individuals/families to nearby cities/town in search of livelihood. Even they face greater threat when entering the urban areas with limited skills and work experience.
IFTR strives to improve Rural Livelihood through various means. One among that is skill development. For this, the volunteers interact with villages/ villagers and local stakeholders and organize the unemployed people including women. Based on interest and abilities, they are provided with training in various disciplines to get some employment in their areas of living or nearby areas. Wherever possible, FTR will organize suitable placement in the vicinity of the villages.
