For youth living in rural areas, such as Northeast India, unemployment is particularly high. Employment in India is characterized by skill level, and the goal of training programs is to move from the unskilled employment level to at least level two, which requires technical competence but leads to higher wages. Assam Don Bosco University (ADBU) created a local employment training project christened “Swabalamban,” which is Assamese for self-reliance. Swabalamban helps young men and women to gain experience and competence in skills that are in demand in their region, such as house wiring, inverter making, solar-powered LED lamps, DTP, bar bending, masonry, computer-assisted drawing, welding, pipe fitting, carpentry, and plumbing. This chapter reports how the Engineering Department conceptualized and implemented Swabalamban and some of the results of the training program. Suggestions for how other universities could create and sustain similar training programs in rural areas are included in this chapter.
