Are all equal when it comes to handling the ‘economic empowerment of desperately poor and marginalized people’ in India? Who could tell? One thing to do is to put the question to Anudip Foundation. On that, we know that they are among the very best. 

In 2007, with one ethnographic study at hand, a group of social entrepreneurs set on a journey to address the critical livelihood needs of people in rural and urban areas through information technology. Based in Kolkata, a strong IT capital city of India, they had plenty of digital knowledge and felt they were strong enough to face the challenge. They have had to reassess their own capabilities and skills to make it through. Creating a set learning and skilling process for the vulnerable was to be full of the unexpected. One such example...

Are all equal when it comes to handling the ‘economic empowerment of desperately poor and marginalized people’ in India? Who could tell? One thing to do is to put the question to Anudip Foundation. On that, we know that they are among the very best. 

In 2007, with one ethnographic study at hand, a group of social entrepreneurs set on a journey to address the critical livelihood needs of people in rural and urban areas through information technology. Based in Kolkata, a strong IT capital city of India, they had plenty of digital knowledge and felt they were strong enough to face the challenge. They have had to reassess their own capabilities and skills to make it through. Creating a set learning and skilling process for the vulnerable was to be full of the unexpected. One such example was that over time their own alumni proved to be among the key improvers and disrupters of Anudip’s skill-empowering and learning efforts. By entering a steady and humble dialogue with multiple partners at local, regional, and national levels, was also another key to Anudip’s success that has led them to define, grow, and secure ‘skilling eco-systems’, their aces in the pack.

Today, Monisha Banerjee, Anudip’s CEO who has been holding the job since 2018, is convinced that a greater interconnection between skilling and schooling can induce changes of foundational magnitude to face the inevitable disruptions to happen in the industrial and services spheres of India. With already 120 Skill and Career Development Centers in 18 states of India, three Save Centers, an office in the USA since 2018, and as recently as 2020 an office in Bangladesh, Anudip seems not to be shy about its ambitions and scaling. How to make this happen is probably something to keep Monisha and her 600+ team on high alert and moving forward. No doubt that it will be difficult to stop them from achieving their objectives.

Mission statement
ngo advisor visual effects rond orange

Poverty and unemployment are key challenges faced by youth from marginalized communities in India, including tribal groups, migrants, political refugees, trafficking victims, persons with disabilities, and minority women. Trapped in cycles of generational poverty and burdened with financial debts, these young individuals are vulnerable to social issues like trafficking, insurgency, crime, drug abuse, and early marriages.

Most are school/college dropouts with limited skills, unable to compete in the urban job market. Our theory of change is to empower them as lifelong learners, grounded in human values and socio-cultural awareness, by providing education, technology skills, and 21st-century job opportunities.

Recognized as one of India’s Top 10 NGOs in 2022 by Great Place to Work, Anudip is also a recipient of multiple prestigious awards, including the ASIA-PACIFIC STEVIE Awards 2023. CNN News18 highlighted Anudip as a changemaker for empowering women from marginalized...

History

In 2007, under Chairman Dipak Basu, ActionAid and Reuters Foundation conducted a study in the Ganges Delta near Kolkata, highlighting how local employment can transform marginalized communities. This inspired the founding of Anudip Foundation to address livelihood needs in rural and urban India through information technology.

Anudip began by setting up job training centers in the Sundarbans, partnering with community NGOs. Early feedback shaped its market-aligned skill development model, creating a scalable and impactful skilling ecosystem. With innovations in pedagogy, such as ADDIE, Gagne’s framework, and Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model, Anudip serves as a living lab for employability research.

To date, Anudip has empowered over 400,000 individuals and 150,000 families across 18 states, focusing on marginalized communities, including women, youth, minorities, refugees, and trafficking survivors.
