ITC has cultivated a longstanding partnership with Pratham since its inception in 2013 to augment educational outcomes for children aged 3-14 and provide skill training for youth aged 18-35 across 12 states in India. The education programs focus on enhancing learning outcomes through 4 distinct interventions (Anganwadi, Balvachan, Primary and Upper Primary Programs) in addition to different government partnerships. Simultaneously, the skilling programs equip young individuals with industry-relevant skills in areas like healthcare, electrical, hospitality, automotive and beauty. A pivotal element of this initiative is the implementation of community training camps, which utilize a hub-and-spoke model based on Pratham’s existing training centers. These camps are designed to enhance accessibility to vocational education, enabling wider community engagement and outreach. In the past 10 years of our Partnership with ITC, we have been able to train 47,000 + youth. This initiative brings education and vocational training directly to local communities, supporting children and youth for a brighter future.
