India is at a pivotal moment: more than half its citizens are under 25, creating an unprecedented window for economic progress. To harness this demographic dividend, job creation and skill development must take center stage over the coming decade. The outlook is promising—India’s economy grew a robust 7.2 percent last year and is projected to expand by 7.3 percent in FY 2023‑24, according to the National Statistical Office. AVS Foundation is committed to turning this momentum into opportunity by equipping young people with market‑ready skills that fuel employment, drive productivity, and advance the nation’s growth.
India’s rapid growth underscores its demographic strength, rising investment and savings, and accelerating infrastructure upgrades. Yet serious challenges remain. Young Indians are nearly three times more likely to be jobless than adults and often land in insecure, low‑quality roles that make the transition from school to work difficult. Women face additional barriers—underemployment, lower wages, and reliance on part‑time or temporary positions. While the pandemic intensified these problems, the root cause is a persistent gap in relevant education and market‑ready skills. AVS Foundation tackles this deficit head‑on, equipping youth—especially young women—with training that leads to stable, equitable employment.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development—specifically SDG 4.4—urges countries to greatly expand the pool of youth and adults with market‑relevant skills. For India, which aims to become a multi‑trillion‑dollar economy, unlocking the talent of its young population is more than a social goal; it is a strategic imperative. AVS Foundation answers this call by equipping India’s youth with the competencies needed to drive inclusive, sustainable growth.
Closing India’s skills gap demands a holistic strategy: align classroom learning with workplace needs, expand career guidance, and strengthen technical and vocational programs, including on‑the‑job training across formal and informal sectors. Priority areas include digital and financial literacy plus core cognitive abilities such as problem‑solving and critical thinking. Reforms like the National Education Policy 2020—supported by higher education budgets—signal India’s commitment to a skill‑oriented system that equips youth with essential 21st‑century competencies. AVS Foundation advances this agenda by delivering integrated training that bridges education and employability.
To narrow the digital divide and deliver domain‑specific skills to underserved youth, AVS Foundation drives holistic change in disadvantaged communities through a set of targeted, high‑impact interventions:
