Answer 1

Answer:

B. To promote self-employment among rural youth

TRAINING OF RURAL YOUTH FOR SELF-EMPLOYMENT (TRYSEM)

• Launched in August, 1979

• Provide technical skills to rural youth

• Self-employment in the fields of agriculture and allied activities, industries, services and trade

• Inadequate employment opportunities for the TRSYEM trainees have been attributed to three main factors

• Adequate and timely assistance under IRDP not given at several times to them to start their own productive activities.

• Systematic surveys for identifying the potential for new productive ventures are not being carried out by most of the DRDAs.

The rapport between the DRDAs and BDOs on one side and employers on the other side has not been strong and fruitful to provide placement of increased number of the trained youth.
