Vocational Training & Research Institute
We provide short term vocational training in diverse areas to skill the poor, deprived and
unskilled. We envision the learned skills and associated personal development will enable
our trainees to sustain their livelihood with self esteem.
Our Area of Operations & Context

Family-household based enterprises and incomes from agriculture, animal husbandry, and trade have for some time been insufficient to sustain daily needs for much of the local populace, leave aside new aspirations.

Awareness Programs

We undertake campaigns, using various formats, in schools and the local community regarding possibilities of and potential opportunities of vocational training. We find that there is still little awareness regarding this
