Kalanjiyam is launching of a new initiative, Thalir Academy – a Youth Skill Development Center. Thalir aims to address key factors affecting youth, such as lack of education, inadequate family income, and a limited skill set.
“Thalir,” a Tamil word, symbolizes steadfast growth and development, embodying the academy’s vision to empower rural youth with employable skills, including vocational training, digital and financial literacy, and entrepreneurial skills, ultimately enhancing economic security.
The training programs aim to reach youth from two blocks of Chengalpattu district and will be implemented directly by local community members, ensuring ownership and sustainability of the outcomes.
