India is a youth led country, with 70% of people under the age of 40. 34% of India's gross national income comes from young people, but this percentage needs to be increased urgently. Indeed, today's youth are an important resource not only for the development of economic prosperity, but also for social change. Despite this importance, millennials often face hurdles every day because their energy is not yet directed in the right direction.Youth empowerment in all developments is essential not only for national development throughout the country, but also for individual personal development. With this in mind UVS established a computer and information science institute called ‘Vidarbha Infotech’ in 2010.
Sole dependency on agriculture is proving ineffective to farmers. Moreover, a helping hand from women is in demand to tackle the existing farming situation. In continuation from previous years, we have provided vocational training to rural women to start their own ventures and contribute to the family. We offered courses like beauty parlor, bakery production, sewing cloths, lather bag manufacturing, and more to needy Below Powerty Line (BPL) women.
Apart from their need in the agricultural sector, women from Self Help Group (SHG) play a vital role to improve the efficiency of credit systems, to channel financial conclusions, to mobilize the resources, to promote savings and banking habits, to improve the living condition of the poor and to empower their friends and families. With the assistance of the central government’s Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojna we have done a remarkable task in SHG formation and it is still going with same enthusiasm.
In addition, through Vidarbha InfoTech, we are providing nonprofit certificate courses such as the Maharashtra State Certificate in Information Technology (MS-CIT) to needy beneficiaries. We also undertaken courses in Entrepreneurship Development, MITCON, etc. for rural beneficiaries.
Will Win Academy is a UVS led initiative. It is a non-profit, multifaceted coaching institute dedicated to the all-round growth of youths. In alliance with resourceful personnel, we have facilitated all-encompassing educational opportunities for the first time in the District of Washim, India. This includes educational coaching for students in grades 4th to 10th in English language, spoken English, Science, and Mathematics.
Along with academic progress, co-curricular activities for the overall development of students were needed, so we have incorporated Music, Dance, Katthak, Singing, Computer, and Yoga classes. We incorporated also outdoor sports, including Archery, Karate, Kudo and Martial Arts. With our slogan ‘Support, Report and Defend’, we are attempting to provide all of these classes to underprivileged rural students under one roof.
