The less privileged youth of India should get equal opportunities of receiving education and to become skillful so that they can stand on their own feet.
Vedanta Foundation is an arm to support the socio-economic activities of our organization. We created it to aid and intensify our mission. Moreover, the foundation enhances the impact of our company's CSR activities.
"The foundation was started with the idea of helping the youth from less privileged communities and helping them become responsible citizens. The skill development programmes were introduced so that they can learn and become earning members of their families.

Vedanta Rojgar Yojana
India possesses a significant advantage with its large, youthful workforce, as 50% of the population is under the age of 25. However, despite this demographic strength, many young people entering the workforce lack employability. Nearly 45% of the country’s youth drop out of school, leaving them without the formal education or skills necessary for employment and career advancement.
Vedanta Rojgar Yojana addresses this gap by providing employment-linked skill training to empower young people and make them self-reliant. Through this initiative, the foundation offers vocational training and job placement assistance to unemployed youth. To date, the foundation has successfully trained 1.4 million young individuals through over 180 vocational training centers.
