Livelihood
Ajit Foundation livelihood development activities are focused on people belonging to marginalized communities, with the objective of providing them with knowledge, training, and access to technologies, services, and opportunities for a better economic future. This is done through livelihood training centres where we also provide placement support. It is facilitating as well as developing skill development programs with the aim to address poverty and illiteracy, giving underprivileged individuals an opportunity to develop skills and monetize those skills that will enable them to lead a decent life ahead.
Ajit Foundation also works with farmers who have a small piece of land to support sustainable and climate-resilient agricultural practices, besides that, they also organize workshops and knowledge sessions to build awareness about institutional entitlements and government policies related to agriculture and farmers.
The Building Back Livelihood
The covid pandemic period was very tough for everyone but the communities that were hit the hardest were migrant labourers, daily wagers, and workers from informal sectors. The pandemic has led to widespread losses in jobs and incomes for the informal workers and on top of that the lockdown has choked almost all the economic activity.
Building Back Livelihood initiative aims to support hard-hit communities through livelihood support programs, small business set-ups, and financial and food/ration assistance.
Retail Management course
It has been working with a bifocal approach, for the sustainable development and economic upliftment of underprivileged youth. The programme aims to impart employability skills to the youth from marginalized communities and helps them to attain a basic quality of life and work towards a dignified future.
The program educates the underprivileged urban youth on basic retail management to make them adaptable and employable in the retail industry. It helps build confidence and presentation skills by incorporating aspects of English speaking and Personality Development. Finally it promotes employment by identification and placement of these youth in the respective corporate/ institutes.
