Nearly 5,000 tribal youths will be given skill training in the first phase of a programme taken up as part of the ‘one family, one job’ proposal announced in the budget. The Scheduled Tribe Development Department is implementing the programme in a phased manner. In the first phase, tribal youth in five districts - Kozhikode, Palakkad, Kannur, Wayanad, and Malappuram - who have passed class 10 will be given training and placement. It estimates that there are nearly 5,000 tribal youth in the 18-44 age group who are unemployed. Under the scheme, placements for the tribal youth through the Public Service Commission and employment exchanges are also being targeted by the department.
