Centre for Practical Livelihood Training

Centre for Practical Livelihood Training (CPLT)
(an initiative of North Eastern Development Finance Corporation Ltd.)
Centre for Practical Livelihood Training (CPLT) was set up by NEDFi, in association with IMC, ITI, Nalbari in August 2008 with a view to provide free and practical short-duration training to the rural educated unemployed youth in order to develop their skill to find self-employment/ wage-employment opportunities. We had identified Nalbari for setting up CPLT because it is one of the districts of Assam where unemployment is high despite high literacy.
The main objectives of the CPLT:
- To identify, orient, motivate and train youth and impart them the knowledge and skills required for taking up self-employment ventures.
- To train youth to develop the aptitude for working in rural areas, in rural development projects, etc.
- To assist trained youth in self-employment and as far as possible in obtaining credit facilities from banks and other financial institutions and to assist them in setting up their ventures successfully.
CPLT established NEDFi RSETI at ITI, Nalbari, during December 2012 to avail of the infrastructure and training facilities existing therein. Two Local NGOs, ‘Weavers Development Society’ and ‘Gramya Vikash Mancha’ have also been associated to identify the prospective trainees and providing financial assistance for self-employment, thus providing the forward and backward linkages. During the period August 2008- December 2012, CPLT conducted 21 training programmes in various trades in which 397 trainees participated as detailed below.
