With Vadodara emerging as a commercial and IT hub, can growth and
development be far behind. A growing economy only implies the growth in
spending needs and aspirations of individual thus enhancing the scope of retail
sector and employment levels. And whenever there is an opportunity in retail
employment, Pankh always has the best solution.
Taking its flight forward, Pankh (an initiative by TRRAIN & Youth 4
Jobs Foundation) in partnership with Society
for the Training & Vocational Rehabilitation of the Disabled (SEVATIRTH) launched its first
program in Vadodara. The program aims to empower the youth to break from the shackles of
helplessness and become independent and self-sustained. The training will see
30 youth, between the age group of 18-29 suffering from either or both
orthopedic and hearing disabilities, trained in the various aspects of retail.
Not only training, but Pankh also endeavor is to create livelihood to all our trained youth. We have achieved 100 percent placements till date. Pankh plans to train and employ 150
students across 5 sessions in this financial year.
This centre will not only cater to the local students but is open to
youth from Ankleshwar, Bharuch, Surat, Valsad and Vapi. This centre
reflects TRRAIN’s commitment to create
sustainable livelihoods for PwD and also promote inclusive growth in retail
sector. For the convenience of
the students coming from adjoining areas, free accommodation will be provided
at Sevatirth.
This is the second Pankh centre in Gujarat, with the first being
operated from Ahmedabad in partnership with Blind People Association (BPA). The
centre came into existence on December, 2013 and has trained 24 students with an
additional 22 students undergoing training at present.
The first training batch is scheduled to start on May 19th at Sevatirth.
