This Institutes are contributing immensely for the development of the country. RUDSETI is one Institute which is working for the skill development of rural youth through short term interventions which is lacking in our youth. India being a poor country with lot of human resources the Institutes like RUDSETI plays the crusial roll in allround development of the rural area, so that our country will be developed country by 2047 which is the vision of our Central Govt. The people working at Institute shall re-dedicate your selves for the society in whatever way it is necessary, he concluded.

This will increase the confidence of the trainees to approach for bank fianace. This year govt of India has allotted lot of funds for skill development, that is the area where we are involved. RUDSETIs are working in grass root level where the requirments are known to us, so to take advantage of it, get associated with Govt.
India has bulging population but resources are limited. Services can sustain primary & secondary sector contributions. This is where the skill development is very important. To make the 5 trillion economy every component has to perform. We have 60% of youth population & they want some kind of employment opportunity. RUDSETI is one Insitute which is working in this area. If we can give right kind of skills and personality development skills there is no doubt in achieving 5 trillion economy in three years. We all have to dedicate our selves in this direction.
Almost 95% of the population are in the unorganized sector. Govt of India has introduced lot of schemes for them. However, due to lack of awareness the beneficiaries are deprived of it. Since RUDSETIs are close to the public, cover maximum people under Social Security Schemes.
Shri B Sudhakar Kotary, General Manager, Canara Bank, Circle Office, Mangaluru in his address said God has given opportunity to serve in RUDSETI. A small idea started in 1982 has become a big banyan tree and spread across entire country. RUDSETI movement has traversed more than four decades in its contribution to Nation building bringing light in the lives of thousands of youth and their families. RUDSETIs has trained 5.73 lakh unemployed youths since it’s inception. The skill development training along with personality development inputs sets apart RUDSETI from other training Institutes. Focus on women empowerment by giving more training and financial assistance. Women will take care of entire family. Give importance for settlement and credit linkage then only we can fulfill the great cause of starting this Institution.
Dr Heggadeji, in his presidential address said that RUDSETI was started with a reason to make sure all services should be available in rural area and to stop migration of people from rural to urban area for livelihood. Now 605 Institutes are working in different districts across the country. Our Institute being senior we have big brother/sister roll to play in this RSETI movement. The RSETI movement was started with concept of providing enough opportunity to rural youth to settle in their own district through self employment. Our training programmes shall be designed to meet all the needs of the local area. The RUDSETI trained candidates should get financial assistance from banks and govt departments. Sensitization programmes for Govt departments and Bank official shall be conducted at district level to extend credit facilities for RUDSETI trained candidates.
