Economic development through Poverty Alleviation
Millions of poor
in rural areas have neither access nor opportunities to break free from the
shackles of poverty. ICECD offers them such opportunity by sensitizing, motivating
and developing them to become economically independent. This has broken the
myth that poor/illiterate cannot become successful entrepreneurs.
ICECD
helps eradicate poverty in through :
|
Income generation and entrepreneurship development programmes |
|
Job creation/skill training and upgradation |
|
Viable technology identification and linkages |
|
Rural economic renewal strategies |
|
Vocational training |
|
Access to credit-micro credit programmes |
|
Savings and credit groups management and capacity building |
|
Consultations for linkages and networking |
 |
 |
|
In
last two decades, ICECD has reached out to more than 10,000 deprived tribal
and rural population and has led them to viable and sustainable micro enterprises
with appropriate linkages to market, credit and technology under its poverty
alleviation initiative. These interventions have resulted in better health,
education and self-reliance for them. |
|
Women
feel that they get better respect in the family now. Decision-making has
become consolidated and they have a clear vision, with better social awareness. |
|
With
economic empowerment as an entry point, poor have gained confidence and
capabilities to make their own decisions not only at enterprise level but
also in the households.
