Gram Tarang Employability Training Services

Gram Tarang Employability Training Services is a social entrepreneurial initiative in skill training for employability & self employment of youth ranging fromschool dropouts to engineering graduates across the eastern states of India. The idea was seeded in 2006 with an intervention in Paralakhemundi district headquars of Gajapati, one of the most extremist affected districts of Orissa with a machinist training program for school dropouts run in partnership with the Tool Room, Ministry of MSME. Since then, Gram Tarang has trained over 7,000 youth across various industry sectors with a placement record of78% through strong partnerships with the industry. The most notable government partnerships include NSDC, where Gram Tarang was selected as their second ever partner to train 45,000 youth by 2020, as well as Ministry of Rural Development, where Gram Tarang is implementing a special project under SGSY aiming to train 10,000 BPL youth by 2013.
