INTRODUCTION
This project aims to provide unemployment problem in city and villages of Sitapur and how NGOs are helping in employment generation through their various programmes and activities. This study covers detailed information about various NGOs and their programs for skill development and employment generation. Unemployment, NGOs and their role has been defined below.

What is Unemployment?

Unemployment is a state of joblessness in an economy. This unemployment is usually measured in terms of unemployment rate where the number of unemployed individuals will be divided by the total number of employed individuals. This unemployment can also be referred as joblessness or out of work. The Office of National Statistics (ONS) has given an official estimation of unemployment using the International Labor Organization definition.

According to this definition, public aged 16 and above will be called as unemployed if they are out of work, need a job, have vigorously wanted work in the last four weeks and are available to start work in the next two weeks, have found a job and are waiting to join the job in the next two weeks.

Unemployment is a major problem in many countries, especially India. There are many reasons for this, but technological progress can be figured out as one of the main reasons. Everything is getting computerized in these modern days and this in turn leads to unemployment by decreasing the number of labors needed for a work. Unemployment is used by the government as a statistic

to measure the health of the economy. Based on the rate of unemployment, like if the rate is around 6% or more, then the government will try to stimulate the economy and create jobs.

What are NGOs?

World Bank definition of an NGO:

The diversity of NGOs strains any simple definition. They include many groups and institutions that are entirely or largely independent of government and that have primarily humanitarian or cooperative rather than commercial objectives. They are private agencies in industrial countries that support international development; indigenous groups organized regionally or nationally; and member-groups in villages. NGOs include charitable and religious associations that mobilize private funds for development, distribute food and family planning services and promote community organization

Role of NGOs in Employment Generation

The task of employment generation requires concerted action by several ministries and departments of government both at the national as well as the state levels. But it is not a task for governments alone. Employers and workers organizations, as well as NGOs play an increasingly active role in the process.

The NGOs are engaged in imparting training for development of entrepreneurship, technical innovation as well as capacity building of relevant micro and medium enterprises. The initiatives are aimed at cultivating entrepreneurship and employment generation opportunities for the local communities.

It has been observed that due to lack of necessary skills as required by various service and manufacturing organizations many of the students of the state even after completion of their formal education are unable to find suitable employment; whereas demand for the local youths for various industry for their operation within and outside the state has been increasing. Even the people whose main occupation is agriculture, Pisciculture, Pottery, Cattle farming/Dairy, Handicrafts/furniture, Handloom, Horticulture, Sericulture etc. did not flourish much as they could have been and this is just because of lack of proper skill and knowledge. Though, the Governments are implementing various developmental schemes for the welfare of the weaker section of the society. But, owing to many factors including non-association of grass-root institution in implementation, the programme could not yield the expected result.

NGOs play a vital role where government fails to help rural and urban Population as they are directly linked to people.
