The first category is called the As-is Scenario, which includes basic features such as topography, climate, population, and skilling infrastructure. In a nutshell, this section illustrates the District's current situation and depicts the supply side for skilling in the current period. The second category is called Aggregate Demand, which includes demands from all three sectors of the District economy. Demand has been drawn from all sectors, including the current employment situation and the expected increase over the next two years. It mainly focuses on industry, agriculture, and allied agriculture both within and outside the District. The third section is significant in terms of planning and analyses the gap. SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis has been used to describe the current potential and employment ecosystem and the empty spaces to focus on. Primary data such as Feedback and inputs from students, parents, employers, and training partners are discussed to gain ground. The last part is called the Action plan, which is the center of the planning and outcome of the whole exercise done before that. This section illustrates the objectives that the District wants to set and how it will be implemented, monitored, and reviewed. It covers vital businesses and its focused Processing that can provide sustainable livelihoods to the target population. Introduction There are many mythological descriptions about the great historical value of district Bahraich. It was famous as the capital of God Brahma, the creator of the universe. It was also known as part of the Gandharva forest. Even today, the northeast area of several hundred square km of the District is covered by the forest. It is said that Lord Brahma developed this forest-covered area as the place of worship for saints and sages. Therefore, this place was known as 'Brahmaich.' According to some historians, this place was the ''Bhar '' dynasty's capital in the middle age. Therefore, it was called the Bahraich.

Ghaghara is the main river flowing through the District, formed from the combined waters of the Kauriala, Saryu, and Chauka and other rivers that drain the sub-mountain tract to the west. It enters the District in the extreme west and flows along the southern borders. It rolls from one side to the other within its wide bed, changing its course almost every year. The land along the river banks gets eroded during the rains, and for this reason, the District's area is liable to annual variations. Saryu is the second most important river, rising in the District and joining the Ghaghara in Bahraich. The Kuwano River flows along the northern border, with the Bisuha, a small stream of a similar character. The soils of the District are composed of the fluvial deposits of these rivers. The entire District falling in the sai sub-basin of Bahraich represents flat topography. Several vital lakes in the District include the Banki, Kodar, Aranga, and Parwati & Pathri. Climate: It has an average elevation of 126 meters (413 feet). Bahraich has a warm, humid subtropical climate with hot summers from April to July. The rainy season is from July to mid- September, when Bahraich gets an average rainfall from the south-west monsoon winds, and occasionally frontal rainfall will occur in January.

Significant yields of the Region are wheat, paddy, and maize as cereals, Masoor among pulses and sugarcane, and potato as business crops. Bahraich is notable for Masoor pulses, Parwal, and Tomatoes, which are being traded inside the Territory of Uttar Pradesh and different parts of the nation. Cultivators can be taught to expand their exercises at every possible opportunity. Dairying, Mushroom development, Poultry cultivating, Ginger and Parwal, Masoor pulses can be advanced in different blocks of the District. Bahraich is likewise climatically appropriate for sericulture advancement. The forest wealth - Bahraich district has about 14.0 percent area under forests, just double to State average. Therefore, it is desirable to take up commercial forestry seriously by growing more seesam, khairs, popular, eucalyptus, bamboo, and jatropha, so that plywood; Katha, furniture, and other forest-based industries can be developed through these species. In the Tarai area of tehsil Nanpara and Bahraich, there is a scope to develop forest-based industries like timber and wood products. Kattha, Dona, and Pattal, Beekeeping, etc. Dairy development - The Bahraich region has sizable milch steers. In this way, there is a need to have milk processing units, create chilling plants, organize markets available to be purchased, acquire good breed animals, ensure the regular supply of good quality of animal feed, and increase good veterinary services. Goats, sheep, and pigs rearing - Among SC/ST populace, raising of sheep, goats and pigs are commonly well known. This movement has been taken up on sound business lines in the last two years. Goat farming and backyard poultry have significantly increased farmer’s income. Fisheries - As there are various lakes, supplies, and streams, Pisciculture can be created. To give a legitimate driving force to create Pisciculture, there is a need to set up cold storage facilities, plants delivering fish feed, and mandi to market fish. The Non-Farm Area - There are six sugar plants in the locale producing massive bagasse and molasses. Bagasse can be used in the assembling of paper and square board. Liquor and spirit can be produced using molasses. Primary The total contribution of the Primary sector in district GDP is 6174.59 Crore Sector Rupees in the Year 2018-19.
