The present paper attempts to analyse the process of sustainable livelihood through skill development and its conceptual and theoretical understanding in India with reference to rural youth. In India skill development is demanded for economic growth and inclusive development, hence rural population cannot be overlooked. It also tries to highlight that employable skills alone have not been able to sufficiently generate employment among rural youth despite it won't address/promote the well-being process and sustainable livelihood. It is also based on the assumption that various frameworks associated with skill development leave scope for reforms as the gaps prevails that weaken implementation addressed by various policy shift in rural development paradigm and government/non-government organisations. The paper also aspires to look into the process of skill development towards rural youth through establishments of institutions; launch of policy/programmes and their linkages with micro-finance. It also look into the distinctive nature/features of micro-finance against the dominant forces of societal structure, social relationships, social interactions leading towards collective interests and norms that shape the quality and quantity of lives of individuals. Lastly analysis and conclusion have been made on the basis of discussion.Keywords

State-civil society interaction can be a promoter of development. ‘The norms of cooperation and a network of civic engagement among citizens can be promoted by state institutions and used for developmental ends’.1 This argument is related to the two contemporary theories of development (state-led development) and social capital (civil society–centred development). ‘The developmental state perspective argues that the autonomous developmental oriented state with competent bureaucracy and weak civil society is responsible for a high level of economic and social development within a short span of time in countries like China and South East Asian countries’.2
The developmentally orientated political elite in these countries choose authoritarian political management to achieve superior performance and thereby legitimacy. The leadership in China and South East Asia is repressive (i.e. it forms its individual set of laws in the concentration of the mass) and compassionate (i.e. had the purpose of doing utmost welfare of citizens). The majority of the society realistically anticipates from an egalitarian approach to be translucent, ordered and decision-making, which will be comprehensive, liable and endow with realistic constant and permissible outcomes for sustainable development, which stay beneath check.
In case of India, it can be analysed that India’s democratic institutions were meticulously build over long years of the national movement for independence, with a distant-sighted idea and a contemporary, secular worldview, which was an attempt has been made to construct structures that would poise each other and give justice to tribal community, within this worldview which were comprised not only the legislature, executive and judiciary, but also an assortment of independent commissions and tribunals and media institutions. In accumulation, a range was provided for the execution of citizens and civil society groups and democratic people’s movements. For over three decades, inclusive governance comprises these two institutions that have survived as a framework within which tribal population is moving towards development. Hence, this paper attempts to study the sustenance of development vis-à-vis social capital and its various dimensions. It also looks into the initiatives taken economically, politically, and socially by Civil Society Organisations, which bring tribal community people together.
