The objectives of ARYA project are (i) To attract and empower the Youth in Rural  Areas  to  take  up  various  Agriculture,  allied  and  service  sector  enterprises  for sustainable income and gainful employment in selected districts, (ii) to enable the Farm Youth to establish network groups to take up resource and capital intensive activities like processing, value addition and marketing, and (iii) To demonstrate functional linkage with different  institutions  and  stakeholders  for  convergence  of  opportunities  available  under various schemes/program for sustainable development of youth. ARYA project will be

implemented  in  22  States  through  KVKs,  one  district  from  each  State.  In  one  district, 200-300  rural  youths  will  be  identified  for  their  skill  development  in  entrepreneurial activities  and  establishment  of  related  micro-enterprise  units.  The  trained  youth  groups will function as role model for other youths and will demonstrate the potentiality of the agri-based enterprises and also give training to other farmers. In the project district, rural youths  will  be  identified  for  their  skill  development  in  entrepreneurial  activities  and establishment  of  related  micro-enterprise  units  in  the  area  of  Apiary,  Mushroom,  Seed Processing,  Soil  testing,  Poultry,  Dairy,  Goatry,  Carp-hatchery,    Vermi-compost  etc., KVKs  will  involve  the  Agricultural  Universities  and  ICAR  Institutes  as  Technology Partners. The purpose is to establish economic models for youth in the villages in the area of  agriculture,  allied  and  service  sector  enterprises  for  sustainable  income  through  self employment.

(c) to (f): A number of institutional mechanisms are in place to make farmers aware of the researches, technologies and best practices generated by ICAR Institutes, Agricultural Universities (AUs).  The ICAR institutes are regularly  conducting nationwide Front Line Demonstrations  (FLDs),  on  and  off  farm  trainings,  skill  development  programme, improved technology demonstrations including varieties/hybrids in pursuit of technology transfer  and  to  create  awareness  amongst  the  farmers  for  adopting  improved  scientific packages and practices to enhance the farm productivity and production.
