The Grameen Udyami Scheme was launched to augment skill training in tribal communities for their inclusive and sustainable growth. Under the programme, the endeavor is to multi skill India’s youth and impart functional skills to them for enabling livelihoods.

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has emphasized on the involvement of tribal communities in the workforce, ensuring their holistic development to make them self-reliant and contained within their respective geographies.

It is implemented under the Sansadiya Sankul Pariyojana with an aim to expand the rural/local economy, enhance employment opportunities, reduce forced migration and also lead to the conservation of natural resources.

In the absence of skill and education, organized sectors have traditionally had minimal contribution in tribal livelihood as compared to the national average.
