Hindustan Zinc's Zinc Kaushal Program Empowering Rural Futures

In the heartlands of rural India, where unemployment is a persistent challenge, Hindustan Zinc's Zinc Kaushal program continues to upskill rural & urban youth aged 18-35, including school dropouts, unemployed youth, and those who want to upgrade their skills. Youth from surrounding 5 districts of the operational area - Udaipur, Rajsamand, Chittorgarh, Bhilwara and Ajmer are covered through this initiative. The training program is designed post assessment surveys conducted in geographical areas to identify various areas of interest of the youth along with employment opportunities available in the market. 
This innovative program continues to bridge the gap between ambition and opportunity for several youth every year.Lavina Sisodia’s hailing from a local village of Chanderiya in Chittorgarh District is one such example. Her journey from financial adversity to empowerment post joining BFSI training course exemplifies the transformative power of the program.Today, shehas become a role model for all the young girls in her village who aspire to become independent.
