Vocational Training Programmes

                 Employment generation through organization of vocational trainings is one of the major mandates of the KVK. KVK emphasized on conducting tailor made programmes for rural youth ranging from 1 to 5 days so that the trainees can also build up confidence of management of the enterprise besides technical skill. A total of 21 training programmes for rural youths either practicing farmers or school dropouts were organised which were attended by 479 participants.
