By investing in their skill development, we are dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and equipping them with the necessary tools to shape a brighter future.

Mahavir Intermational ventured into e learning by setting up a computer lab at a school supported by us. The massive interest that was generated amongst the students there provoked us to examine the possibility of stand alone computer centres which would aid under privileged children and help them in the fast evolving digital world that we are in today. Thus was born SAKSHAM.

The first centre under SAKSHAM was set up with the assistance at Kompally this year. It is a fully equipped centre with 12 state of the art computers, a class room, a recreation cum reading room and two full time faculty.

Currrently we have enrolled more than 200 children who are taught the basics of computers (hardware and software) free of cost. We plan to enroll older children and teenagers in skill development courses in the evening utilizing the same infrastructure.

The success of SAKSHAM emboldens us to think of expanding this activity multi fold be setting up more centres in other areas so that we may be able to serve a larger number of children and enable them to become tech savvy and productive citizens.

Swabhimaan is a center that offers free tailoring and stitching training to women. With 15 sewing machines, it empowers women by equipping them with valuable skills.
