Abstract: In today’s fast-paced world, skill enhancement is vital, particularly for marginalized communities. It’s the bridge for transitioning individuals from mere survival to carving out sustainable livelihoods. This process isn’t merely about financial self-reliance. It’s about the transformational journey from skill acquisition to micro-entrepreneurship, empowering individuals to pave the way for the betterment of their communities. These efforts lead to tangible impact, empowering these groups to craft new stories for themselves Marginalized groups face a multitude of interconnected challenges, including poverty, discrimination, limited access to resources, and inadequate healthcare and education, often leading to social exclusion and poor health outcomes. These challenges are exacerbated by systemic barriers and can result in a cycle of disadvantage that is difficult to break. Thus this paper attempt to highlights the challenges which these marginalized communities faces with reference to the case study of VIVEC hoping this insights in the paper will initiate a series of serious and productive deliberation on the topic.
