Saksham, launched in 2010, is a plan india initiative to enable youth from urban and rural disadvantaged areas to realise their dreams by equipping them with market oriented vocational skills in the age group of 18-35 years. This not only helps them to access decent employment but also makes them representatives of a gender just society and better citizen. Plan india provides the youth opportunities to escape poverty and become economically secure by giving them the skills to get a job or be self-employed through training and employment. Youth are being provided training on workplace and English communications, basic computer and internet, life skills and financial literacy. Saksham is implemented in partnership with civil society and training organisations.
