| Employment Programme |
| Employment - |
| A great need in the area is for
employment. In the past RTU has operated a unit
providing batik-work for handicapped adults.
Also a handloom cotton weaving and finishing unit provided employment to more
than 100, mostly women. This work has
been transferred to another NGO, that still operates
on the RTU campus. |
| In our Industrial Unit roofing tiles are produced for
our large housing programme, plus cement blocks as
well as a wide range of ferro-cement articles
including doors, and door & window frames. We
employ many masons and carpenters. |
| |
| Training - |
| Our main focus is now
on education (see
here)
which is designed to equip our children and young
people for employment, either locally or elsewhere
in Tamil Nadu. We also provide sewing and tailoring
classes for local villagers, including via a mobile
unit which spends 4 months at a time in each
village. |
