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

Dear friends,

Anudip had a successful 2015 that was highlighted by our:

• expanding training capacity
• entering service for high risk populations like persons with disabilities and political refugees
• building an online learning system in partnership with Udemy
• establishing a presence at the nation's capital, and
• improving gender ratio of beneficiaries from 30% women to 40%.

We brought on board a new financial controller who has rich experience in nonprofit comliance, and a new director who is an acknowledgef leader in technology for education.

 in Early in 2016 Anudip will enter two new states, Chattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh, in our push to ultimately cover the country. We have an ambitious technology driven plan to revamp our training model that will be implemented in phases during the year.

I would like to dwell a bit on our program for people with disabilties called SAVE - specially abled vocational education. There is absolutely no higher happiness than in seeing a bright individual, hitherto held back by a physical or visual disability, finish our training program and secure a job and a steady future, In a country which is pathetically disabled-unfriendly both in societal stigma and access to services, our rural beneficiaries are heroes at the start by securing a high school education. Their relief, and that of their parents, when they get a job offer and start work, is reward many times over for our SAVE program.

Thank you once again for your support through the years.

Happy New Year!

Dipak Basu, CEO
