Supporting young people with skills training

Bhumi is striving for meaningful change. Through volunteering, Bhumi aims to build a society that empowers every individual to reshape the conversation with their voices and stories. Among grassroots Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in India, Bhumi has a strong reputation for success. It is a leading NGO in India focusing on the two areas of education and volunteering.
Project Skill-Ed has trained 931 underprivileged youth in the age group of 18-27 years on digital skills and soft skills as part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. The training sessions took place on three days a week for three months, along with guest lectures, mock interviews, and soft skills sessions by industry experts. Through DXC Technology's partnership for Project Skill-Ed, 211 youths are in relevant jobs.
Transforming together
Bhumi believes that every child deserves to have access to quality education. It is the one thing that can never be lost. Additionally, it will enable them to achieve many of their aspirations and live fulfilling lives. Bhumi is one of the few top NGOs in India that promotes whole-school transformations and gives educational opportunities to students from disadvantaged communities.
Bhumi's vision is to help build a more influential, equal and socially conscious society. It knows that conserving the ecology and its blessings is a necessity, not a privilege. Bhumi’s vision is for every Indian to volunteer for causes such as child education, and community welfare.
It is working towards providing holistic education and enabling sustainable livelihoods for 5,000 children in the next ten years. For this, Bhumi will focus on increasing impact and sustainability in shelter homes, communities and schools. The volunteer-driven program at shelter homes will be strengthened for higher effectiveness and the school program will focus on improving student learning outcomes.
Bhumi's mission is to drive social change by fostering an environment where young adults and children learn, lead, and thrive. It believes that the culture of its organization is built over the years, because of the deep-rooted value system that it believes in. The values are what Bhumi aspires to translate in all its stakeholders and work. They are:
