Transforming India Initiative
The Challenge
57 people possess as much wealth as the poorest 70 percent of the country and the richest 10 percent in India owns 80 percent of its wealth.
The number of women participating in the labor force in India stands at a mere 27% and continues to drop further every year.
76% of children in the country do not have access to higher education.
India is ranked 141 out of 180 countries on the Environmental Performance Index.
The Hope
If the reality of the country lies in these facts, the hope lies in the youth of the country. With the current education system failing to give any exposure to these pressing challenges or providing the students with the necessary competencies to solve them, most youths settle for jobs that provide a secure income and nothing more. With the right education, training, and support, we believe that the youth can become entrepreneurs with the power to provide meaningful, sustainable and systemic solutions to these pressing challenges.
Would you like to take up this challenge? Be a part of the core team that is building a platform through which youth are equipped to discover, dream, design and develop their own enterprises?
The Specifics
ALC India is launching ‘Transforming India Initiative’ to provide a platform through which entrepreneurs and enterprises are equipped to discover, dream, design and develop. In partnership with the Institute of Rural Management, Anand (IRMA), the initiative will: 1. Accelerate existing enterprises with the potential to scale up and sustain 2. Create entrepreneurs who have the necessary skills, mindsets and conscious leadership to address social, economic and environmental challenges 3. Establish enterprises that will impact the lives of a significant number of people and serve as model enterprises.
The key to the programme will be the fellows who will transform into entrepreneurs, enable the acceleration of existing enterprises, and start-up responsible enterprises. These fellows will have to be equipped with the necessary skills and mindsets to achieve these significant goals. They will then work towards creating an ecosystem where enterprises and entrepreneurs are nurtured.
