Sustainable livelihood is one of the biggest needs of all citizens- irrespective of rural or urban, caste or class barriers. Thus the most vulnerable segment is school dropout youth. These young people are not eligible to get job/work private or government sector due to lack of relevant education. Just education by itself is no longer sufficient to secure adequate income, without specific vocational skills training. Both types of youth are targeted in CfD’s intervening areas.
