About Deshpande Skilling

India is gunning to be a $5 trillion economy by 2025-26 and is slated to have the world’s largest workforce by 2027. It is, therefore, imperative that youth from tier II/III (non-metro) towns and villages have equitable access and are equipped to grab a fair share of this opportunity.

It has designed skill development programs to support students and unemployed youth to acquire job-oriented skills and join the formal employment sector. Through innovative pilots, leveraging emerging technology in classrooms and an integrated learning management system, the impact of these programs has been made economically viable and scalable, to gradually effect rural transformation. Our skilling initiative has helped students and unemployed youth to discover their true potential. We will continue to build partnerships with organizations and individuals to deliver impact in rural & semi-urban India.
