Rural skills training institutes (RSETIs) play a pivotal role in elevating the caliber of
young entrepreneurs in terms of improvement in their communication skills, accounting traits,
basic financial management skills, and knowledge about government facilities. Though many
studies through light on effectiveness of these rural skills Training Institutes, some of the
dimensions are still untouched, the present study tries to show other dimensions of the same.
The present work has considered 10 districts of Karnatak state for its study (Viz., Uttara
Kannada, Belagavi, Vijayapur, Bagalkot, Gadag, Dharwad, Haveri, Bellary, Raichur and
Koppal districts). Effectiveness of Skills training institutes is measured in terms of success rate
of beneficiaries of respective RSETIs: total 500 beneficiaries were responded the survey out of
which 454 were finally considered for our research work (excluding incomplete and incomplete
responses). In this analytical type of research, many statistical tools including Standard
deviation, Karl Pearson’s and spearman’s rank correlation, Anova tests, Post hoc tests (Turkey
HSD), mean plots and descriptive statistical tools have been employed to (i) see whether the
skills training institutes have an impact on income level of the beneficiaries (ii) To check is
there any significant difference in the perception with reference to the component of banking
services as enabler to rural skills training with change in the response of the beneficiary (iii)
To test is there any significant difference in the perception with reference to the effectiveness
of the component of EDP training services as enabler to rural skills training with change in the
response of the beneficiary (iv) To see is there any significant difference in the perception with
reference to the component of economic empowerment through rural skills training with
change in the response of the beneficiary. The results were incorporated.
