Annual Report 2019-20

Skill development assumes special significance in India in the present times as there is a gradual change taking place in the employment scenario of the country. Scarcity of skilled labour remains one of the most pressing problems faced by the small and medium enterprises in the country.

Thus, a holistic approach is required to address the problem of skills shortage in India, wherein we have a huge rural workforce which till date remains untapped. This force can be trained and then integrated into the mainstream economy to bridge the skills gap.

Keeping the above in view, Visan Foundation conducted the Honda Two Wheeler India CSR Initiative to train and place 90 under privileged, students which yielded excellent results of training with 100% placement.

An overview of this program conducted from August 2019 to February 2020, is as follows:

As part of the orientation, the students were given a group assignment to get First Hand Experience of operations of the Hospitality Industry. They presented project report and did a presentation in the class.
