ETASHA Society

We envision a future where every Indian is self-reliant, has self-worth and leads a dignified and productive life. For too many of young Indians, the country's continuing economic success story means little. Bright, ambitious and talented teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds struggle to complete school education only to find that they are still ill-prepared for the fast-moving world beyond the school gates. Sub-standard education, outdated career advice and unrealistic expectations mean that many young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are excluded from India’s growth and caught in a vicious cycle of poor education, lack of opportunity and low –paid work. ETASHA aims to change that. We provide career guidance, vocational and employability skills training and placement for young people from disadvantaged communities. Delivering specialist training from our 2 Career Development Centres located in poor communities in Delhi, ETASHA also provides training for other organisations across India such as Don Bosco, Butterflies, CASP- Plan and the governments of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
