Youth Empowerment
Apraava Energy works towards addressing the skill gap amongst the rural youth and youth from economically disadvantaged backgrounds by supporting the students with training courses and vocational education through effective partnerships.
Key Initiatives
Apraava Energy through its partnership with School of Skill Education, Tata Institute of Social Sciences skilled over 2000 youth aspiring to work in healthcare, renewable and allied sectors. Launched right before covid outbreak, the project reached out to the most deserving and needy students from across 33 districts of 12 states in the country. Apraava is proud to have 70% girls enrolled into these courses bringing sunshine in the lives of the young students.
Moreover, in the business catchments of Telangana and Tamil Nadu, local youth and women were trained in desktop publishing courses, retail, tailoring, embroidery courses.
In a comprehensive three-year project in empowering community through skill development and environment conservation project at Telangana, Apraava caters to 17 catchment villages around our wind and solar business sites in CREPL, DSPL and Veltoor.
At the heart of this initiative is the skill-based livelihood center where selected women and youth underwent intensive training in advanced tailoring and embroidery courses. To provide holistic support, Apraava equipped these women with modern, high-speed, and durable machines along with its accessories nurturing their entrepreneurial spirit and bolstering their confidence.
Former beedi rollers, once bearing the brunt of significant health implications have now transitioned into full time tailoring and embroidery, finding fulfilment and satisfaction in their work. Notably, a woman has established her business in a store employing another woman and earning a decent income in a dignified manner.
Through our commitment to skill development and community empowerment, Apraava Energy continues to catalyze positive change and foster sustainable livelihoods in Telangana.
