National Digital Literacy Mission (NDLM) Scheme has been formulated to impart IT training to 6 crore people, including Anganwadi and ASHA workers and authorized ration dealers in all the States/UTs across the country so that the non-digitally literate citizens are trained to become digitally literate so as to enable them to actively and effectively participate in the democratic and developmental process and also enhance their livelihood.

The tribals of Dantewada are dependent on forest and agriculture for their livelihood. The forest provides them with wild food, medicines, fire-wood, fodder and minor forest produce. Agriculture, on the other hand, is mainly practiced as a means of subsistence.

As part of our mission, we place high importance on women empowerment and have taken the route of social empowerment of women through economic independence for our programs. Our Women Skill development centers provide necessary training in various market required skills along with livelihoods support for getting placed in jobs or setting up their businesses.

Before initiation of the project, a detailed need assessment and area mapping will be carried out in and around the target location, this data will form the baseline for the long-term project planning. The Women Skill Development Center will conduct 3-month training program for women from financially constrained families. The selected women beneficiaries can choose to be trained in vocations including but not limited to tailoring, embroidery, bag making, beautician and the like.

This program was initiated with the objective to train youth from underprivileged communities as per market requirements and enhance their learning and employment potential and help them achieve their career goals thereby paving the right direction for a better future and improving their quality of life.
