Even over three years after the Union ministry of rural development launched of the ambitious Rural Self Employment Training Institute (RSETI) project to help unemployed rural youths, the northeast is lagging behind the rest of the country in the implementation of the scheme.
Under the scheme, RSETIs were to be established in every district of the country by different banks to impart skill development training to rural unemployed youths. Respective state governments were to provide land to the banks for setting up RSETIs. In 608 districts across the country, 549 RSETIs have been established so far.
On Tuesday, representatives of banks, rural development officials and members of existing RSETIs from different northeastern states gathered in the city to discuss the problems behind the slow progress in implementation of the scheme. At a two-day meeting here, organised by National Institute of Rural Development, Hyderabad, the participants also thrashed out solutions to overcome these problems.
