Gandhiji always placed great importance for Vocational and Functional learning in Education. He was of the opinion that love for manual work should be injected in the minds of children through Vocational Education. A child will learn it by doing it and being free from mere bookish knowledge as students resort to manual work.

The aim of this research paper is to empower youth "to be a man of Value rather than being a man of Success" and to increase the efficiency of the youth to be self-sufficient. The need for this research paper is to identify and appreciate the efforts of Department of Lifelong Learning and Extension (DLLE). Questionnaire method will be adopted in accordance with objectives of the study.
