Unnati, is a vocational training program organised on behalf of the Sree Guruvayurappan Bhajan Samaj Trust (SGBS), aimed at enabling and empowering youngsters from families below the poverty line. The 50 days program equips unemployed youth with vocational and life-skills offered at a subsidized cost.
Dropouts aged 18 years and above, belonging to economically backward and weaker sections of the society are either recommended or hand-picked and are given vocational training without a break. The training spans across 9 vocations - retail sales, field sales, guest care - hotel, guest care - offices, industrial tailoring, entry level voice & data (BPO), security services, driving, and industrial painting, through a mix of practical and theory classes. The courses are designed in such a way that the youth are not only trained in the vocation but are also socially transformed to become confident and good citizens. On successful completion of the training, the trainees are placed for employment with reputed firms that have a tie-up with the Unnati Foundation.
Unnati has partnered with like-minded NGOs at Mysore, Sirsi, Pune, Ulhasnagar and Ahmedabad. These centers have also been able to provide 100% placements to the youth, post-training. Through its Vision 2020, Unnati aims to touch the lives of 1 million youth across India. The programme has been replicated and established across India, spread across over 40 centers.

For being a guiding light to the youth, Unnati deserves a Standing Ovation!
