About the Project:

The development of skills is pivotal to harnessing India's immense youth population potential, fostering

inclusive growth, and positioning the country as a global economic hub. In the face of significant industrial expansion in the Delhi/NCR region, there is a stark contrast for the youth within the local community,

particularly those hailing from low-income migrant backgrounds, who have not been able to access skill development opportunities and employment prospects.

The primary objective of this project is to offer comprehensive skills training to unemployed young

individuals. This training equips them with the knowledge and abilities necessary to secure employment and excel in their chosen occupations. The project is dedicated to enhancing employability and increasing the

income of both youth and individuals with disabilities from marginalized communities, with a particular focus on advanced IT skills and job roles that align with the demands of the market.
