UYPPA

The Unemployed Young People’s Association was started in 1976-77, in Tirunagar, South Madurai, and was a small attempt to respond to the vast problem of young people leaving school in the urban environment with some academic qualifications, but with no practical skills which would make them employable. Training is given in various areas, such as printing, and electrical work, and also seminars are held to help members think through their situation within society.
