Jointly with Vadain Sampark, the GSRD Foundation offered vocational training to poor children in the slums of Delhi and the rural area of Utta Pradesh. In Utta Pradesh, a new school was built that offers free education to girls as part of the program “Girls to School”.

In Delhi, two vocational training programs are offered: sewing and computer training. The sewing program attracts over 30 students a month, and the computer training classes, where students learn basic computer skills, attracts over 35 students a month. The ability to work with several computer programs enables students to fulfil basic computer jobs in the area, and the majority of successful students go on to work at a nearly-located call centre.
