LITERACY INDIA PROJECT KARIGARI_Drafting_Designing Future
While education is at the core of our efforts to bring in greater inclusivity and mainstreaming the marginalized, however enhancing employability and the ability to earn so that children can continue to learn is equally important. We have been running several employability enhancement initiatives covering the youth, women, farmers, tribal communities under our umbrella program, Karigari, since 2002. Till date we have covered more than 15000 people under this program, training them on various skills.
Karigari focuses on enhancing the employability of members of the communities that we engage with. Since its launch in 2002, we have trained more than 100,000 people on various vocational skills, in line with their interests to improve their chances of getting employed. Our training modules include:
Project Undertaken this Quarter has been unique in nature, that is teaching students about the Computer Aided Design. Learning CAD software is important because almost all of these jobs (and more) are performed with sophisticated CAD software that guarantees speed, accuracy, and reuse of work. With CAD skills, students can find employment and increase productivity. Mechanical CAD course is offered in software JW CAD.
Activities Undertaken during period

Name: Sagar (Name Changed) Age: 20 Location: GURUGRAM
Sagar , a Graduation student has been grappling with livelihood issues, as his family has been moving from one state of the country to another. Born in state of Bihar, Sagar has spent his entire childhood in Kolkata at his maternal house where his father moved for job opportunity. However, from last five years he is staying in Delhi, along with his father who works as an auto driver.
Sagar is connected with Literacy India for five years now. He got enrolled in Literacy India at that time in computer classes. Post that the boy was part of Vidyapeeth School from where he cleared his class X. Sagar then took admission in the Government school for further education and with the assistance from Literacy India now the dedicated boy has completed class XII.
Sagar always dreamt of having a better life and realizes the efforts he needs to put in to achieve the same. The hard-working boy did not waste any time and consulted the seniors at Literacy India for his future course of action. This is when Sagar came across AUTOCAD. Eager to know more, Sagar made the queries and soon opted for the six monthly AUTOCAD program at Bajghera Centre of Literacy India. With the onset of training, Sagar started to show interest in the program. His inclination towards designing has got a boost from this course. He passionately completed the course and is now comfortable in drawing any kind of mechanical/ architectural designs. Sagar knows how to design things like gear books, keys, tap etc. He is well versed with 2D, 3D and isometric designs. He can demarcate front, back, bottom, top and side view of 3D.
Sagar today is a well-informed boy on computers and has good command over communication skills. He looks up to inspiring personalities like Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi and Bill Gates and keeps reading/ knowing about their life and work. After completing the course in A Grade, Sagar is now placed with Cadence Electricals and Engineers Pvt. Ltd, New Delhi as assistant designer.
