Skill development and new employment opportunities
BRTP-Jeevikaa 3 is not limited to agriculture only. The scheme will also encourage fisheries, dairy, poultry, beekeeping and non-agriculture businesses. By training youth and women, they will get an opportunity to become self-reliant.
Major changes expected at cluster level
1,000 cluster level organizations of the state will also be empowered. These organizations will not only provide economic and social services for their members, but also invest in community projects. This initiative will increase financial inclusion in villages by facilitating digital payments and mobile banking.
