skills and livelihood

interventions for

poverty alleviation and

rural development



“I hold that the highest development of the mind and the soul

is possible through a holistic system of education. Only every

handicraft has to be taught not merely mechanically as is done

today, but scientifically... One imparts ten times as much in this

manner as by reading and writing.”

- Mahatma Gandhion Rural Development through Vocational Training

empowering

rural India...

Millions of Indians still live below the poverty line

and face a number of issues related to health,

education and employment on a daily basis.

Providing meaningful employment and livelihood

opportunities to youth is an absolute necessity to

achieve inclusive and sustainable growth given

our favourable demographics.

Skills Development is essential for empowering

rural communities in India. However, it needs

large scale systemic reforms, quality improvement

and large scale implementation. It is therefore

important to work with stakeholders in a Public

Private Partnership (PPP) mode to ensure

innovative solutions can be implemented to

empower rural India.

IL&FS Clusters works with several communities

including youth, women, school dropouts, SHGs,

persons with disabilities, graduates and artisans

to impart skill development and livelihood services

that EMPOWER PEOPLE to EMPOWER INDIA.

working with

communities...



working indifficult geographies...

Our strong commitment towards taking skills and livelihood opportunities to every corner of

India has helped us set up touch points in some of the most difficult geographies, LWE affected

districts, remote areas and backward regions.

Our centres are offering vocational training and skills programmes which connect young trainees

to jobs and livelihood opportunities. Talented youngsters of these areas often have limited access

to basic skills and education making them economically weak and increasing their vulnerability.

We are one of the first institutions to launch skills programmes in these geographies. In less than

3 years, we have spread our operations in over 15 states including:

Total number of centres : Over 100 IL&FS Skills Development Centres

livelihoodsWhen you assist livelihoods programmes,

additional incomes that sustain their families

and add value to local resources

delivery mechanisms and institutional structures. This

producers engaged in handloom, handicraft and other

non-farm economic activities.

We also provide livelihood training to rural women and men

for helping them get a strong start, particularly those who

lack formal education. Using a strong community basedstrategy we engage several groups to create community

owned and managed grassroot level institutions. Our

livelihood interventions facilitate linkages with buyers,

financial institution, banks, international and national

clients.
