Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya believed in ‘Antyodaya’ (the upliftment of those who are at the bottom of society). To him, the economic development should be measured by economic conditions of those at the bottom. He wanted the country to be free from extreme poverty and that is why he emphasized ‘Antyodaya’ as the part of humanism. To give meaning to his ideas, several programmes were started after his name for the poor including Antyodaya and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana. Under this scheme, the aim is to improve sustainable livelihood opportunities through skill development so that the urban and rural poor can be provided employment. To enhance the skills of permanent employment among the urban and rural poor requisite training and skill development programmes have been introduced so that they can become employed by micro-enterprises. The Government is making efforts to implement the programme(s) effectively and its positive impact is also visible but still, many challenges are being faced like lack of awareness, family and health issues, lack of interest in a job after getting training, short duration of the training, expensive types of equipment, market problem, etc. Suggestions to make the programme more effective include capability assessment, generating interest in micro and small enterprises, increasing training duration, use of modern technology, continuous monitoring and evaluation, permanent adjustment, and involvement of NGOs and civil societies. –Reproduced
