...In partnership with Government and Corporates

In collaboration with Corporates and Government Ministries/Departments in
implementing their CSR programmes, the Institute seeks to create unique opportunities
that render rewarding life to beneficiaries.

EDII focusses on creating an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem, by targeting women,
tribal communities, disadvantaged youths and Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) through
training, mentoring and handholding support.

Beneficiaries trained under ‘Skills to Succeed’ project exhibiting hygiene, sanitation
and wellness products developed by them.

Giving wings to women by training them and supporting them to set up sustainable
enterprises is one of the core areas of intervention. Over the last two months, over 3000
women have been skill - trained and guided with production, marketing and networking
strategies, so that they unleash their strengths, hone their skills, align these with their
interests and float sustainable enterprises. Programmes including Skills to Succeed
(supported by Accenture); Subhalakshmi Udyogini (supported by Vedanta Alumina); Micro
Skill Entrepreneurship Programmes (under the support of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited
(HAL), Project UDAYA (under TATA Communications); SANKALP (under the aegis of
Standard Chartered) etc. are intervening to bring women in the forefront of economic
activities.
