Youth Employment In Nagaland Through NSRLM: A Study

Abstract

Considering many youths have trouble breaking into the workforce and finding fulfilling jobs, youth employment is a pressing concern in developing nations. More than two million people are living in the state of Nagaland in northeastern India, making employment a significant concern for the region. Agriculture, forestry, and tourism make up a major part of the state's economy, with a burgeoning industrial sector providing support. Nagaland's rural residents are being helped through a government program called the Nagaland State Rural Livelihood Mission (NSRLM). The NSRLM aims to increase rural communities' access to economic and entrepreneurial opportunities. This objective is served by the program's promotion of agriculture and allied activities, funding for microenterprises and self-help groups, and training and capacity building for rural youth and women. The NSRLM collaborates with state and regional governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and businesses to improve conditions for people living in rural areas. Establishing rural enterprise centers and offering financial aid and technical support to rural entrepreneurs are just two of the many efforts made by the NSRLM to boost job opportunities in Nagaland.  The methodology undertaken is descriptive analysis. The objectives are first to discuss Entrepreneurship for youths in the state, second one is to know the market linkages for the youths in the state, and third one is to explain employment for the youth section of the society under NSRLM.
