As we strive for a more equitable and prosperous society, trainings by Rural Training Centre, Amaravathipudur stand as beacons of hope. By empowering rural communities with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive, this centre is truly making a lasting impact.

From providing vocational training to fostering entrepreneurship, it is equipping individuals with the tools necessary to break cycles of poverty and build brighter futures.

This centre is more than just a training facility – it's a catalyst for positive change. I am happy to note that the Rural Training Centre (RTC), Amaravathipudur, Karaikudi, RTC has conducted 795 training programs, imparting skill and knowledge to 19,837 rural youth as on 31 March 2024 and 48 of such training programs covering 1,031 candidates were successfully completed in the year 2024-25.
