A skill is a learned or developed capability to perform tasks, solve problems, or achieve specific goals effectively and proficiently. Skills can encompass a wide range of capabilities, including corporeal, psychological, and societal abilities. They are typically acquired through education, training, practice, and experience. They play a crucial role in an individual's ability to excel in various aspects of life, such as work and personal development. Skill development plays a pivotal role in enhancing employability and fostering community development. By providing individuals with the skills needed for profitable employment, communities can experience significant positive transformations in society, including economic growth, social cohesion, and improved quality of life. Investing in skill development programs is an effective way to promote long-term community development and empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives.
Such an experiment by the Government for skill development and skill multiplication in India is the Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs). The major objective of the program is to provide self-employment opportunities and skill development training to the rural population, particularly youth and women. The main purpose of RSETI is to promote entrepreneurship and self-employment in rural areas, thereby reducing unemployment and poverty. The program aims to equip individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge required to start their own ventures and generate income. RSETI centres provide various training programs and workshops on a wide range of sectors such as agriculture, livestock, handicrafts, small-scale industries, and service sectors.
This paper aims to understand the impact of RSETI on the skill development and skill multiplication of the rural people in Alappuzha District, Kerala. The study is descriptive in nature. Data on 100 samples were collected and a qualitative method was chosen for the study. Building a rapport with the sample group was more comfortable as the researcher hails from the same place working under RSETI, helping them get a better livelihood through training. The tool for data collection was a semi-structured interview schedule. Observations in their living and working environment are also analysed. Focus group discussions were conducted in the later stage of the study. Five case studies from different communities among them are specifically portrayed.
