As a result, rural youth often migrate to urban centres in search of opportunities—only to face further exploitation, low wages, and poor living conditions.
Premankur strongly believes in channelizing youth potential, promoting sustainable local livelihoods, and reducing distress migration. To achieve this, the organization has adopted a multi-pronged strategy to create meaningful self-employment opportunities within the community.
The Centre provides a one-stop solution for essential public documentation, helping citizens navigate administrative processes with ease. It offers:
