Empowering Poor Youth With Digital Livelihood

By Jyoti Singh Chauhan | Business Development Manager

Dear Friends,

Wish you all a very happy and prospering new year ahead!

It gives us immense pleasure to share these new developments of last three months; not only did Anudip expand its program operations to another state but was able to gain additional support from its corporate social responsibility (CSR) partner too.

In late 2016, Anudip received additional support towards it Specially-Abled Vocational Education (SAVE) program under Skills to Succeed global corporate citizenship initiative, which aims to equip approximately 3 million youth by 2020. This fund donation will be utilized to provide skills training and placement services to persons with physical and visual constraints.

Anudip was also able to expand its program operations to Odisha state with SAVE training center. This center has been opened keeping in mind the high number of unemployed but educated disabled people residing in Odisha. With the objective of reaching 100,000 lives by 2021, Anudip will soon expand its operations to new states such as Assam, Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Telangana by early 2017. Unemployed poor youth will be trained in digital livelihood and placed across sectors such as IT-ITeS, Retail and Micro-finance.

Anudip has always given emphasis in placing its candidates in economy jobs and tried to provide them a sustainable livelihood. In order to meet the industry trend and placing its students in more specific sectors, Anudip will be including retail and micro-finance as its two newest training sectors. Current market trend demands more sector specific employees. By keeping this in mind, Anudip will be introducing these two sectors in early 2017.

The need for strong governance along with company expansion goes hand-in-hand. With this objective Anudip family proudly welcomes Sumantra Banerjee, formerly Managing Director of Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation (CESC) to its Board. To manage Anudip’s rapid growth, Prasenjit Kundu, with more than two decades of experience in the skilling and manufacturing sector, has joined Anudip as Executive Director.

These last few months have added a new dimension to Anudip and its family. We hope to impact a large number of marginalized youth and help them lead a life with dignity.

 

Best Wishes,
