Millennium Fellowship Project: Bidesiya
Our project aims to empower and equip bonded labourers, who get discarded from their illegal employer and have nowhere to go, with sufficient skill to ensure their livelihood. It should not just be limited to rehabilitating them but also making them self sufficient with enough technical skills so that they lead respectable lives of their own. We start by getting these people registered under the appropriate state and central government schemes and help as a medium to give them their allotted funds from government then enroll them into workshops and programmes to help develop their skills and ensure daily wage.
