Digital Livelihoods for 1,000,000 At-risk Youth

Happy new year!

Anudip begins 2013 on a high note with its first expansion into a new Indian state, Jharkhand. We are on track to meet our committed training/placement number of 5000 for 2012-13. But the most exciting news is Anudip's receipt of a grant of $60,000 from Bank of America for our entrepreneurship program, which is a testament to our work with the marginalized rural poor.

All programs of Anudip's integrated economic empowerment model -- training, placement, entrepreneurship and projects -- continue on a serious upward swing and our major task as managers is to manage growth.

In the current quarter, Anudip will expand into another state, Odisha (formerly Orissa), continuing its commitment to serving the marginalized poor in eastern India, the least served region of the country.

We depend on your continued support, so do make an effort and contribute what you can.

With warm regards

Dear Friends,

Anudip Foundation completed a stellar quarter on September 30th having trained 1002 rural women and youth and placed 817 aspirants in jobs or businesses. We have passed the 50% mark for the fiscal year with two quarters to go. Congratulations to our dedicated faculty and placement staff.

The number of students trained since inception of the foundation in 2006 has surpassed 11,000.

During this quarter we added seven new entrepreneur groups so that the total number of businesses is now over 50.

We have significantly tightened up our field fee collection process so that our earned income has increased severalfold. We expect to achieve self-sufficiency by 2015.

While several new funding opportunities are also being addressed, but your individual support always makes a big difference.

With good wishes

Dipak Basu
CEO
