In India unemployment is rising by every day. Increased rate of unemployment is the major cause of worry not only for India but for other growing countries as well. In spite of having degrees from reputed & premium institutes, today’s youth is deprived of job & is facing major challenge of unemployment. Due to unemployment, anarchy is on rising stage in today’s society.  Major steps are being taken to address the issue of unemployment on National as well as State level on a grand scale. To address this issue various organisations, NGOs, government, semi government organisations are trying from their end. Problem of unemployment cannot be resolved/reduced overnight. For this unemployed must be encouraged to be self employed even it may be on small scale. To be self sufficient one must have skills or expertise in a particular field.
