The three-day training program on People’s Entitlements, organized by the Indian Social Institute, Bengaluru, helped the 40 youth to understand their basic rights. They learned about the various government schemes on scholarships and skill training etc. The youth learnt the details how to apply to access the entitlements. The training showed them how to apply for certificates like birth, income, caste and disability certificates. With this knowledge they will access their entitlements to improve their lives and help others.
As a facilitator, I am happy to see the youth learn about People’s Entitlements. 21 male and 19 female participants actively participated and learned how to access social benefits from ration cards, voter IDs, and health cards. They are now empowered to use this knowledge to improve their lives and the communities.
