Socio- Economic Development of PWDs through
Vocation Training

INTRODUCTION:
Socio- Economic development programme is designed to prepare persons with disability, in the
age group 16-35, to achieve self sufficiency through employment or self employment options by
providing vocational training, personality development, and career guidance. Persons with
disabilities (PWDs) remain disproportionately undereducated, untrained, unemployed,
underemployed and poor. They have insufficient access to the mainstream labour market
partially due to social exclusion, lack of trained and competent staff and adequate training for
independent workers. This project aims to support future increases in the numbers of PWDs
seeking, obtaining and eventually retaining positions in open employment. It focuses on capacity
building and awareness activities as well as the development of employment trials and a best
practice model with a small group of selected PWDs.
OBJECTIVIES:
To impart skill training methods and techniques to the identified PWDS
beneficiaries by the experienced and skilled trainer

To provide support and linkage with the banks which help the trained PWDs to
establish their own production unit.

To provide opportunities to the trained PWDs and establish market linkages for
them locally as well as district level.

To promote job opportunity which help to develop Socio Economic status of
PWDs.




AREA PROPOSED TO BE COVERED
The proposed skill training will be organized at CTRD Trust office - Ooty
Block, which is suitable for the training and accessible to the beneficiaries. The

TARGETED GROUPS
The selections of beneficiaries are based on the social and economical
backwardness of the PWDs - SHG members and the members interested in
establishing their own unit.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES

the project components:
1. Ensuring self- employment of the beneficiaries for additional income and
economical development of the PWDs
