IIT Gandhinagar-NEEV empowered nearly 150 rural youth and women via skill development courses

NEEV, an Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) community outreach programme, successfully trained nearly 150 rural youth and women in six skill development courses from April to June 2022. On June 10, 2022, the Institute held a valedictory event for participants to award course certificates for successful completion of the courses.

Professor Sharad Gupta, In-charge Dean, R&D, was present on the occasion to encourage the participants.

A total of 145 participants were trained at NEEV-IITGN in this edition of Summer Skills Courses, including 26 in Stitching Skills course, 30 in Beautician Skills course, 34 in Basic Computer Skills course, 26 in Spoken-English Skills course, 16 in Tally Skills course, and 13 in Vocational Skill course of wiring and CNC machining.

Many of them have already started earning after gaining these skills.

These courses are offered entirely free of cost with philanthropic support from the Desai Foundation Trust.

NEEV charges only a refundable security deposit of Rs 500 per participant, which is refunded to the participant after they complete the course.

Moreover, the courses such as stitching skills and beautician skills, which are exclusively organised for women, are conducted in their village itself.

It is also worth noting that the popularity of NEEV’s courses has grown beyond Gandhinagar or Ahmedabad, and this time they hosted five outstation participants, mainly from the South Gujarat region.

NEEV also provided them with lodging and boarding in the IITGN hostels for the duration of their courses, and did not charge anything from them.

NEEV Coordinator, Soumya Harish said, “Through these projects, NEEV aims to empower women and youth from underserved communities to gain skills that can make them confident about moving forward in their life. At IIT Gandhinagar, we extend our institute’s resources as much as possible for the benefit of our neighborhood communities.”

NEEV has always aimed to empower grassroots youth and adults through its numerous training projects, mentoring, and networking opportunities in order to generate a sustainable livelihood.

Since its inception in 2014, this programme has carried out over 90 entrepreneurship and skill development projects and activities for 3000+ youth and adults from Ahmedabad/Gandhinagar, including 15+ villages near IITGN.
