To stop the migration of people from villages to cities, it is crucial to create employment opportunities in the villages. Through small-scale industries in the villages, youths can get jobs and people in the villages can become self-sufficient. The government has launched various schemes for this purpose. To extend the benefits of these schemes to the village level, the Surya Foundation is helping women become self-reliant and self-sufficient through self-help groups, tailoring training centers, and handicraft training programs under the Model Village Scheme."
