This flagship initiative of Adani Skill Development Centre is built around the vision of creating a ‘Saksham’ India, where the youth are capable of achieving their goals by transforming into skilled professionals. The objective is to bring world-class skill development opportunities to Indian youth, an opportunity they would otherwise have no access to. The Saksham initiative functions through partnerships with various schemes under the Government of India, and support from esteemed corporate.

Under Project Saksham, by Adani Skill Development Centre (ASDC), an initiative of the Adani Foundation, the Foundation conducts skill-based training programmes, which includes 34 government courses and 11 ASDC-customised and government approved courses, for the youth of India, thereby increasing their skill sets and employability. ASDC operates nine fully-owned centres across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand as well as 16 centres in Madhya Pradesh, Kerala and Odisha in infra-partnership mode with a total capacity to skill 20,000 youth annually. ASDC is the first skill imparting institute in the country to offer courses like Simulator-based Crane Operation, 3D printing and Welding through Augmented Reality.

Adani Skill Development Centre has trained over 6,500 candidates in FY18 on various skill development programmes and over 70% candidates are provided with livelihood opportunities. ASDC is focusing on Sustainable Development Goals of No Poverty and Decent Work and Economic Growth.
