Life Skills

🌱 Breaking the Cycle of Poverty Through Practical Skills & Financial Literacy

In North Coastal Andhra Pradesh, thousands of young adults face economic hardship, unemployment, and financial dependency due to limited access to life skills and financial education. Without proper training in decision-making, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and communication, many remain trapped in poverty, unable to build sustainable careers.

📊 The Reality: Why Life Skills Training is Essential

📌 Rural Unemployment Crisis – 45% of rural youth remain jobless due to a lack of vocational and financial skills. (PLFS 2022 Report)
 📌 Low Financial Literacy – Only 27% of India’s rural population understands money management, savings, and debt, leading to financial instability. (RBI Report)
 📌 Entrepreneurship Gap – Less than 15% of India’s 75 million micro-enterprises are led by rural entrepreneurs, due to lack of training & financial awareness. (NITI Aayog Study)
 📌 High Dropout Rates & Job Market Challenges – Over 30% of rural students drop out before completing higher education, limiting access to well-paying jobs. (UDISE Report)

Without practical life skills training, rural youth struggle with:
 🚫 Debt traps & financial mismanagement
 🚫 Unstable, low-paying jobs
 🚫 Lack of career planning & job readiness
