This study was conducted to analyze the relationship between constraints in rural unemployment status, educational statistics and vocational job limits for local development through a case study of a geographically isolated and economically poor rural area of Uttarakhand Himalayas. Most of the hill village community in India, including Uttarakhand, have very poor options of quality and sustainable school education and employment generation. Also, these areas are plagued with limited sources of livelihood options in the local places. The present study assesses community outcomes across three dimensions: Educational and Health improvement, and Common employment generation. It was observed that under modernized perspectives, this effort has significant positive effects on the first two dimensions, but economic impact has been far less pronounced, raising questions about fast out migration and planning polices of the State and Central Government. Vocational job promotion and public-private partnership in local employment generation can act as a new catalyst for rural economic revitalization.Downloads
