Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadikari, Dharmasthala has taken a number of initiatives to address the problem of poverty & unemployment amongst the youth, which resulted in the establishment of RUDSET Institutes providing free training to unemployed youth, and Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala Rural Development Project (SKDRDP), empowering rural youth, especially women, through the formation of self-help groups and providing financing for various income-generating activities. However, when these rural women from SHGs started producing various products, they faced difficulties in pricing, packaging, and marketing, leading to a decrease in their motivation to continue their activities.
