For us, education is more than a process of acquiring knowledge. We believe in its power to provide hope, build resilience, and unleash possibility that propels human, economic and social development. SRF Foundation, through its various education programs has reached 269 schools in 21 locations across nine Indian states, positively affecting the lives of 78,714 students.

We are working towards integrating school dropouts and unemployed youth with the mainstream workforce by equipping them with appropriate skills. Under our flagship skill development program, SRF Foundation runs five skill centers across three Indian states for courses in Spoken English, Electrician Training, Forklift Training and JCB Operator. Today, with more than 6,000 people trained, 80% learners are gainfully employed.

Through our natural resource management program, SRF Foundation enhances livelihood of the rural poor by harnessing under-utilized land and water resources. The program also promotes and imparts training on modern agricultural practices along with healthy fruit and vegetable cultivation techniques. To date, 1,765 hectare of wasteland has been converted into cultivable land, benefitting 6,800 farmer families.
