Vision
The Crescent Foundation was set up as part of a skill development mission to fulfil the growing need in India for skilled manpower across sectors and narrow the existing gap between the demand and supply of skills. There is a compelling need to launch a world-class skill development programme in a mission mode that will address the challenge of imparting the skills required by a growing employment. Both the structure and the leadership of the mission must be such that the programme can be scaled up quickly to cover the Nanded city."
Mission
• Upgrade skills to national standards through significant industry involvement and develop necessary frameworks for standards, curriculum and quality assurance
• Enhance, support and coordinate private sector initiatives for skill development through appropriate MOU models;
• Play the role of a "market-maker" by bringing financing, particularly in sectors where market mechanisms are ineffective or missing
• Prioritize initiatives that can have a multiplier or catalytic effect as opposed to one-off impact.
