TRYSEM

TRAINING OF RURAL YOUTH FOR SELF EMPLOYMENT (TRYSEM)

TRYSEM was launched as a centrally sponsored scheme on 15th of August 1979. The objective is to train the rural youth in the age group of 18 - 35 years in acquiring necessary skills and technology to take up self employment in agriculture and allied activities including animal husbandry, industry, services and business. Emphasis is also laid on systematic marketing as well as exploring possibility of setting up groups for the manufacture/ assembly of non- traditional items for which there is good demand. The beneficiaries of TRYSEM are assisted by IRDP after the training is completed.

This scheme helped not only in improving the skills of a large number of youth but also in their self- employment. A major chunk of the beneficiaries belonged to SC/ST and women as per the provisions of the scheme.
