Caritas India’s livelihood and skill development program empowers marginalized groups such as women, youth, tribal communities, migrant workers, and persons with disabilities through inclusive, dignity-based interventions.

In response to poverty and shocks like COVID 19, the initiative builds skills, enhances income opportunities, and supports both farm and nonfarm livelihoods. It fosters local entrepreneurship and reduces dependency by equipping individuals with tools and training for self-reliance. The program strengthens economic resilience and promotes sustainable, community led development rooted in equity and human dignity.
