The second MPDPIP is expected to address issues of low income and lack of
integration with market, as well as devise strategies to take the pressure off land
(72 % of workforce depends on land). It also needs to diversify rural livelihoods
portfolio, and reduce vulnerability. At present, the proportion of workforce employed
in non-primary sectors of the state’s economy is only about 25 per cent. A similar
proportion of workers are engaged in non-farm occupations. According to estimates,
16 districts of MP have non-agricultural employment of less than 20 per cent. There
is a pressing need to diversify the
livelihood portfolio and spread and increase
worker participation in other dynamic sectors such as manufacturing, repairs and
related services, and community, social, and personal services.To enable the project
beneficiaries to capture new employment opportunities arising out of overall growth
of the Indian economy through establishment of a structured mechanism for skill
development and job creation.

skill
building would be fashioned as per the mapping of job opportunities and demand
of skill sets in the employment intensive industry sectors such as construction,
hospitality, tourism and others, both in the private as well as public sector units,
within and outside the state and country.Professional institutions are engaging
