Introduction: In recent years, there has been paradigm shift in
the development of youth in India with a huge focus on livelihood
development through micro entrepreneurship. A severe lack of job
opportunities for youth, especially rural youth, has led to
entrepreneurship, even at the micro level, as a necessary and viable
alternative for livelihood generation. Providing the opportunity for
youth to successfully start and run a small business will improve rural
economy and lead tobetter quality of life for the youth, their families,
andtheir communities. Promoting rural enterprise will also serve as a
key to stem the migration of youth and bring about a reduction in the
number of youth who moveaway from their communities in search of
employment elsewhere. 
Vimukti Charitable Trust was indeed glad to receive our French friend
Ophélie de Boisdeffre on 8th April 2019. Fr. Sathish Fernandes the
Vimukti Director and the staff members welcomed her cordially. She was
received to the campus with the Indian traditional welcome. She was
extremely happy to meet and relive her old memories of 2014. She visited
the villages and observed each and everything along with the staff. The
rich and variety of culture, tradition, social problems and other
various issues related to the people and she is indeed made her short
visit as fruitful one. She carried the treasure of experience from

Vimukti Charitable Trust® Pothnal organized programs on personality
development camps in the targeted villages of Manvi taluka. Our
Adolescent Girls Training Program is focuses on building adolescent
girls’ capacities for individual empowerment and social survival
especially in patriarchal environments that do not value and respect the
rights of girls and women. VCT tackles gender inequality head on to
ensure that women and girls become advocates for their human rights and
build their self-esteem and self-worth. The program further provides
knowledge and skills that empower girls to detect and deal with
children’s rights violations and provides them with critical thinking
skills. Our program covers important life skills so girls gain the
knowledge of their rights and confidence to demand their right to stay
in school, reduce gender-based violence, and avoid early pregnancy and
marriage, child marriage, child trafficking, school dropouts and to
avoid all kinds of fear and superstitions beliefs, prevalent in the
villages.
In democracy, it is not simply enough to inform voters about election
dates. In order to help the electorates take an informed decision, it is
quintessential to sensitize them about the importance of participating
in the electoral process. Moreover, voters need to be educated about the
process and made aware of the political parties, their manifestos,
backgrounds of the contesting candidates and armed several other
information to help them cast an ‘enlightened’ vote. Vimukti staff along
with village leaders has stepped forward to spread the word about
importance of voting and the right to vote. In this connection, a
Voters’ Awareness Week was organized by vimukti Pothnal. The awareness
drive about the right to vote was successfully conducted under the
guidance of the Vimukti at Pothnal town as well as at targeted villages.
The students and community leaders actively participated in the
campaign. Even the first-time voters were also a part of the drive; they
spread awareness about the right to vote and also the importance of this
right.
From 2010 onwards, it is Fr. Sathish Fernandes who took reigns of
Vimukti at Pothnal and extended its patronage to the taluk, district,
and State level by recognizing the needs of the people and the demand of
service from Vimukti. In recognition of his work, he has received some
honorary titles and become the member of Child Welfare Committee of the
District of Raichur. Briefly, the significant achievements of Vimukti
from the year 2010 until 2019 have been the following: Analysing the
cause for the lack of education in the rural areas, Vimukti made
provision for many a programme to protect the rights of children,
increase their learning opportunities through supplementary training,
establish children’s Rights Club and to focus on such problems as
infrastructure, environmental concerns, health awareness, child labour,
child marriage, livelihood etc. thought of developing social leadership
through children's parliament.
