Skill development is necessary for livelihood and efficient use of resources. The project area is full of human resources; but offers almost no opportunity to develop skills. Therefore, the possibility for optimal use of human resources and scope for enhancing production is less and accordingly there is poverty and unemployment.

Taking these into account, GERIATRIC WELFARE CHARITABLE TRUST has incorporated skill development and capacity building as part of its intervention strategy.Rural youth and women are the main beneficiaries of the programme.

GERIATRIC WELFARE CHARITABLE TRUST has been empowering people by increasing their knowledge base, by capacitating them through skill-building, and by facilitating access to resources. NISARG’s approaches to promote and strengthen Peoples’ Institutions undertake micro-level planning, strengthening capacities, facilitating support, and a pro-poor advocacy, converges with the mainstream development programmes.
