India has a large percentage of youth who do not have access to formal/higher education. Around 45% of them don’t even reach 10th standard. Unnati was founded with a singular aim to harness the potential of every youth of the country, mould him/her to become self-reliant, productive workforce for the country, and to provide them with a sustainable livelihood. Unnati helps the youth of the nation to dream big and equips them to pursue their goals so that they become ChangeAgents in society.

In a quiet, leafy street in Sadanandnagar, Bangalore, a white building rises majestically, towering above the surrounding houses. This is the “IIM of the poor,” as Ramesh Swamy, CEO of SGBS Unnati Foundation, is fond of saying. The Unnati Skill Centre, has been a fountainhead of hope for underprivileged youth from across the country. They come here with their dreams, their aspirations and their fears. Many of them do not know English. They lack social skills. Yet, just 35 days later, they walk out confidently with a job in hand.

This then is the story of how Unnati has helped over 35,000 young men and women “Learn. Earn. Stand tall.”

Our Goal: With 365 million 10-24 year olds, India has the world’s largest youth population. Half of its population is under the age of 25. Two-thirds are less than 35. India is likely to have the world’s largest workforce by 2027, with a billion people aged between 15 and 64.

Our Vision: To train and employ 1 million youth across the nation.

Our Mission: To serve different sections of society, bringing about harmony through focused programs.

Our Slogan: “A generation goes above poverty line - forever” within the given 35 days”
