Its main objective is to provide skill development training and encourage the beneficiaries to venture into self-employment basically by forming  societies/ventures.The trainings are organised in decentralised manner and hence held in the premises of tribal locations. The resources, raw materials, service and co-ordination for each training session is made available under the tutelage of Centre for Management Development. Various categories of training are offered under the programme, such as dress making, carpentry, construction, driving, plumbing, wiring and masonry.
