Initiatives and Work
AISECT developed a model of community-based centres operated by local entrepreneurs. These centres provided digital literacy, vocational education, and IT-enabled services. [4]
The initiative expanded access to skills training, education, and employment opportunities in villages and small towns. Over time, AISECT also became involved in higher education, skill development programs, and e-governance initiatives. [5]
Skill Development
AISECT has been actively striving towards filling the skill gap in India. The Kaushal Vikas Yatra, carried out in 22 states, 300 districts, and 500+ schools and colleges, has generated humongous awareness about the need for skilling and career prospects among youth. Building on this surge, the 6th edition of Kaushal Charcha has been successfully conducted, enhancing national-level discourse on employability, entrepreneurship, and the future of work.
Financial Inclusion
With its vision to bring banking to the last mile, AISECT has been a stride ahead in the field of financial inclusion. With 7,000+ bank kiosks, 2,800+ bank branches connected with kiosks, and 1.07 crore+ bank accounts opened, the project has provided safe and trustworthy financial services to rural and semi-urban India, making it possible for millions to become a part of the formal banking system.
Employments & Livelihoods
AISECT has become a forerunner employment-generation platform with its flagship program Rojgar Mantra. Today, the network has 20 lakh+ professionals, 1,500+ registered employers and organizations, and 200+ permanent staffing clients. The program has shortlisted 2 lakh+ candidates, organized 700+ Rojgar Melas, and covered 85+ districts in 18 Indian states in all these years, thus providing meaningful livelihood opportunities to young people throughout the nation.
