The objective of ‘integrated livelihoods and entrepreneurship development program’ is to enhance income of 10,000 households through increased access to livelihoods opportunities and social protection. The program is designed to have a sustainable impact on young people, farmers and potential micro enterprises through overall improvement in agency, awareness and income levels. The project will be implemented in the villages of Khambhaliya and Lalpur blocks of Devbhumi Dwarka and Jamnagar districts, respectively. The focus will be on the 15 villages in the immediate vicinity of the refinery; however, the project’s activities will also cater to the needs of other villages in the two districts. The key areas of program intervention include promoting entrepreneurship, enhancing access to employment, facilitating collectivization and market access for farmers and leveraging government schemes and enabling access to entitlements. The project will also directly support establishment of one incubation facility at a strategic location to cater to all project villages. The Incubation Centre will be a physical facility and will play an important role in implementing a part of the activities already described under above components especially related to executing various training, mentoring, linkages and networking related activities.
