Rajasthan government has rural youth population as an asset which can be seen as the problem solving producers, creators, entrepreneurs, change agents and leaders of the coming decades.The young generation of the villages is largely looking for jobs outside, maybe civil jobs in government and private sector, leaving out its traditional occupation, resulted in creating a big army of unemployed rural youth. In coming to reap the demographic dividend, this offers great opportunities to make the agricultural sector more productive, more efficient. So that it can play a role in GSDP (31%) as on that major scale as it possesses the area of total land (53%).Major issues related to agriculture are lack of mechanisation, quality of seeds, adequate use of manures, fertilizers, biocides,irrigation pattern, agricultural marketing etc. There is ample scope for innovation, value addition and entrepreneurship development in this sector. This is possible only by skill up-gradation, handholding, mentoring, incubation and credit support aimed especially at rural youth and women providing them employment opportunities at their doorstep.Government of Rajasthan is paying attention towards both the sectors. For the skill development many schemes and programmesi.e. Employment Linked Skill Training Programme (ELSTP),Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY), Skill Development Initiative Scheme (SDIS) and various special projects for quality trainings in various domainsare being implemented.With the objectives of farmer empowerment, marketing tie ups, technology transfer, business opportunities, to encourage agri-based research, to provide common platform for agri and allied ecosystemgovernment is organising a summit GRAM 2016 along with many programmes and schemes.
