Goals
The organisational goal is to provide sustainable livelihoods to the lesser priveledged sections of the youth communities both in Rural & Urban India though Skilling and Rural Development interventions. It aims to reach one million youth per year by 2026.


Capabilities & Challenges
Capabilities:
• Yuva Parivartan (YP), is a 23 year old initiative
• YP focuses on a segment of Society that is relatively ignored by the Government as well as the NGOs – less educated/NEET ( Not in Eduation, Employment & Training) youth.
• A successful track record of skilling over 11,00,00 at risk youth, of which 65% have been connected to Livelihood opportunities so far, through self or wage employment.
• Offers multiple models to address multiple realities
• Trains over 100,000 youth a year across 18 States, through short term employment oriented courses, making them contributing members of Society
• Along with the technical skills, runs an unique module for attitude change called “Soch ka Parivartan”, as well as a large practical component which builds confidence
• A team of over 200 dedicated professionals, led by the Founders Mr. & Mrs. Kher and Mr. Milind Chitre, CEO
• Guided by an advisory board comprising eminent industry leaders such as Padma Vibhushan Dr. R. A. Mashelkar, Chairman, National Innovation Foundation and Padma Vibhushan
• YP is a National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC) Partner. Due to its innovative projects and low-cost models, the YP initiative was selected in 2013 as one of the four finalists for the ‘Social Entrepreneur of the Year’ Award of the Schwab Foundation/World Economic Forum. It was also the winner of a 2014 ICICI Foundation/CNBC ‘Inclusive India Award’ in the Urban Livelihoods - Established Non-Profit Category.

Challenges: FY 2021-22
While the target was to reach >1,00,000 youth, we were able to reach ~80,000 in 2021-22. The main reason for the same was the onset of second wave of COVID at the start of the year. As the result, philanthropic and CSR funding continued to focus on healthcare initiatives, which impacted the funding available for skilling initiatives. Limited funding affected Yuva Parivartan’s reach. However, as the second wave started to ebb from June onwards, Yuva Parivartan doubled its efforts and was able to reach 80,452 students during FY 21-22 compared to 43,394 in FY 20-21 and 38,404 in FY 2019-2020.
FY 2019-20
We were able to achieve only 70% of our targets in 2019-20. The main reasons for the same are as follows; 1) Economic slowdown that started in 2019 majorly affected the CSR funding. YP's CSR funding attributes to around 90%, and hence took a substantial hit 2) Some of our Major Corporate donors revised their funding strategies to concentrate on Urban areas, withdrawing the funding from Rural areas. YP is very strong and achieves 80% of its targets from the Rurals areas and hence with limited funding, the operational numbers came down. 3) Covid 19 came with its set of challenges - which saw a decline in the CSR funding and also put a break on physicl trainings.

Background

Organisation History
KSWA was founded in 1928 by Late Shri. B.G. Kher, a freedom fighter, statesman and the first Premier of Bombay State. He was moved by the plight and miserable living conditions of the 100 odd tanner families who had settled in the marshes of Bandra ( E ) called Chamdewalla -ki-Wadi . While he was involved in the freedom struggle leading two ministries in 1937 and 1946 , interspersed with prison terms, his friends and associates continued to work in the area, later known as "Kherwadi ."The trust was registered in 1955 and the Trustees and Executive Council have continued to follow the principles of service and commitment to help the poor and underprivileged and adhere to the high principles of simplicity, integrity and commitment set by the founder.


Purpose & Strategies

To give a second chance to deprived youth through sustainable
livelihood opportunities based on rural and urban livelihood skill training
programs, that leads to attitudinal change and income generation

Strategies
Yuva Parivartan primarily consists of two verticals focussing on Livelihoods - Skilling & Integrated Rural Development Programs(IRDP)
1) Skilling - Yuva Privartan has identified four areas of work which forms the four pillars of of YP model namely for the Skilling Vertical -
Livelihood Training, Community Engagement, Livelihood Support and Industry Partnerships.
2) IRDP aims at improving rural livelihoods for small / marginal farmers and landless labourers through an integrated approach with five pillars, namely, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Water, Women’s Empowerment and Rural Skilling.

The operation for both the verticals consists of a 200 plus team working across 18 states in the 6 models of delivery to achieve the set goals :
• Livelihood Development Centers (LDCs) are typically located in a slum or rural backward areas and conduct short-term employment oriented courses - for youth. Yuva Parivartan has more than 23 LDCs in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Delhi.
• Rural Livelihood Development Centres (RLDCs) take the vocational skills courses to the rural interiors and tribal belts thereby reaching out to areas where setting up a LDC might not be feasible.
• Integrated Rural Development Program (IRDP) conducts training of farmers for improved agricultural practices, women empowerment through SHG formation, water resource management & animal husbandry to improve the livelihood of small & marginal farmers in 50 villages in Wada Taluka, Thane district, Maharashtra.
• In view of the important role of the Social Development Sector, Yuva Parivartan Academy for Livelihoods is harnessing the capacities of even tiny NGOs & envisages developing an ecosystem that supports small NGOs with a package comprising of Teachers Training, Life Skills Placement Training and Examination and Certification.


Vision
Create opportunities for school dropouts and deprived youth to help them lead productive and socially useful lives.
