expenditure and food security
IMPACT: PARENTS
JOBS STUDY IKP-LABS
• VO’s motivated parents to send children to the trainings• Focused on girls• Proud girls are working in Hyderabad in computer firms• Program is good as youth are sending money to parents for
household consumption and savings by chits• If unemployed, youth will waste time watching TV and ungainful
activities• Sufficient notice must be given to VOs to motivate more youth
VO LEADERS PERCEPTIONS
JOBS STUDY IKP-LABS
• Acute poverty : Need stipend (Gadepally) Training centre Kazipet
• Rs.275 insufficient. No buses .Have to travel by autos• Construction workers willing to forgo wages for such market-
linked trainings• Counseling needed to motivate youth that they can do white
collared jobs• Control villages: 50 unemployed youth in village with 500
families. No information. Willing to send them for training- Bibinagar
UNCOVERED VILLAGES/YOUTH: Experience
JOBS STUDY IKP-LABS
• Motivated employees• “Better than MBA” Citi Bank • Micro irrigation: more practical training to be given so
that youth need not work as trainee. Dropouts occur because of low trainee salary
• Automobile industry: Youth move out to set out their own mechanical shop. Latent entrepreneurial skills unleashed
EMPLOYERS PERCEPTION
JOBS STUDY IKP-LABS
• Addresses social problems in RAIV; hence police cooperate• Impacts the next generation of SHGs• Definite change in youth in change from rude to polished
behavior, dress sense and become role model for others• Partnership good since govt. cannot do market linked training• Converge with other related govt. depts for this program
DISTRICT OFFICIALS PERCEPTIONS
JOBS STUDY IKP-LABS
• Dropouts in multi skilled workers and nursing due to lower salaries
• Tracking youth difficult as they do not inform about job changes
• Lack of accommodation in metros poses a problem
CHALLENGES
JOBS STUDY IKP-LABS
• Strength of the partnership:– Both IKP & DRF have common vision of providing
sustainable livelihoods to the poor• Large network of SHGs of IKP-mobilisation of really vulnerable
facilitated• Weakness of partnership compared to Upadhi/Grameen
– Decentralised approach –funding delays• Planning difficult for faculty/placements-makes implementation
difficult
DRF PERCEPTION
JOBS STUDY IKP-LABS
• Lessons for LABS:– Drop trades with low incomes like multi skilled workers– Include practical in trades like micro irrigation to avoid
internships with low salaries – Mentor enterprises for trained youth by facilitating credit –
videography/photography
Way Ahead
JOBS STUDY IKP-LABS
• Systematic approach of budget flow and MOU signing• Treat DRF as partners and stakeholders not mere
trainers• Putting in place counseling facilities at VO level to
encourage especially girls to take up better opportunities in metros
Lessons for District Functionaries
JOBS STUDY IKP-LABS
• For scaling, appoint at least 2 staff dedicated to jobs in districts • Centralized MOU/payment to partner for better quality and
planning• Half way homes in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai need to be
urgently set up to prevent dropouts
*Youth can stay in half-way homes for three months with escalating rent till they find their feet
