VOCATIONAL SKILLS
As the world’s fastest growing economy, India needs to constantly keep adding skilled workforce to contribute to industrial productivity. Sumadhura Foundation sees this as an opportunity to contribute to nation building by skilling the youth, women and the ex-service personnel through their vocational skills training program.
