Ambuja Cements Transforms Rural Youth Lives through Skill Training in Chandrapur
Maharashtra, Jul 9 (BVI): Ambuja Cements, a leading cement and building materials company, is enabling meaningful change in rural Maharashtra by providing access to skill training and employment opportunities. It has empowered underprivileged youth through placement-linked General Duty Assistant (GDA) training.
In Lakhmapur village, Pooja Ghodake, who came from a financially challenged family, enrolled in a General Duty Assistant course at the CSR funded Ambuja Skill & Entrepreneurship Development Institute (SEDI) implemented by Ambuja Foundation in Upparwahi and is now working as a caregiver at Ajicare Home Health Services in Mumbai.
From lacking confidence to now contributing significantly to her family’s income, Pooja’s journey reflects the impact of structured, career-focused training. With an initial salary of Rs 21,000—now increased to Rs 25,000—she has become financially independent and is currently pursuing GNM to advance her career in healthcare. The initiative fosters self-confidence, financial independence, and career aspirations for rural women.
By providing access to practical, job-oriented courses, Ambuja Cements is shaping brighter futures for rural youth and paving the way for more women like Pooja to gain self-reliance, dignity, and professional growth.
