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

Dear Friends,

To deliver on its vision of Livelihood Initiatives through Knowledge, Anudip has established skill development centers in over 120 villages and urban slums to provide digital livelihood skills to unemployed young people for new economy jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities. With the help of our current and new partnerships Anudip has trained over 60,000 marginalized youth with 72% placement success.

New Partnership & Expansion

We welcome new association with Tech Mahindra and NVIDIA Foundation with whom we will conduct our technology-driven program, Digital Inclusion of Young Aspirants (DIYA) in two states of India; Odisha and Telangana respectively. Under this programme, equal opportunities will be provided in digital skills and placement in e-commerce, net-banking, manufacturing, front and back office positions and other IT/ITeS jobs.

Media Coverage

Cisco, a global leader in IT and networking, and a long-time supporter of Anudip, has not only recognized our efforts towards marginalized communities but also published an article on its CSR blog. The article showcases Anudip’s journey in successfully employing technology to empower talented youth from marginalized communities. The article seamlessly promulgates some life-changing testimonials from few of its beneficiaries.

The Better India, one of the emerging and award-winning positive news sites which only publishes narratives about unsung heroes, change makers, innovations, educators, women empowerment, history and social development; covered Anudip and its founders. The article diligently archives how Anudip is providing skills training to underprivileged women and young people, helping them earn sustainable incomes.

New Strategy

Anudip in collaboration with one of its trusted partner, ITC, organized DISHA (meaning “direction” in Sanskrit) – a multi company recruitment drive on March 2017 in rural West Bengal. This unique endeavor, jointly hosted by Anudip and ITC’s CSR initiative, assembled a large number of Anudip students from two regions to connect them with reputed employers for offering jobs across various verticals. During the last quarter of 2016-17, Anudip has organized two similar kind of job fiesta for connecting potential Anudip graduates with the prominent employers. Anudip is very hopeful such collaborations would continue to introduce Anudip graduates to a bright future in the corporates which would indirectly help them to be self-dependent and acquire a source of sustainable livelihoods.

We hope to achieve new milestones and keep sharing those with you regularly. We cannot thank you enough for supporting us and believing in our mission.

Best Wishes,

Anudip Team
