New Delhi: In a major push toward rural skill development, Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Limited (HURL) has partnered with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to launch Project Saksham.Â
The initiative was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed at NSDC Headquarters, New Delhi, in the presence of Dr. S.P. Mohanty, Managing Director of HURL, along with senior officials from both organizations.
About the Project
Project Saksham is a flagship initiative under HURL’s Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) and aims to train 2,265 youth, women, and smallholder farmers from low-income families. The project will be rolled out in Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), Begusarai (Bihar), and Dhanbad (Jharkhand), based on a detailed skill gap assessment involving community and stakeholder input.
Key Offerings
The program will offer training in sectors such as Banking and Financial Services, Retail, Electronics and IT, Agriculture and Food Processing, Competitive Exam Preparation, and Basic Computer Literacy.
The goal is to improve employability, create self-employment opportunities, and connect participants with government schemes and development platforms. By aligning with the national skilling ecosystem, Project Saksham is expected to boost job readiness and provide long-term economic support to rural communities.
This initiative marks a strong step toward inclusive growth and sustainable livelihood creation.
