To slow down the rate of migration from Uttarakhand’s hilly areas to cities, by providing sustainable livelihood opportunities in the villages itself through locally owned and community-based enterprises.

There is a massive need for employment in the region, as an increasing number of educated youths in the Kumaon region currently face a bleak future with very limited livelihood options.

We envision that this will have a multiplier effect in the short and medium term, effectively boosting local employment, creating jobs and encouraging more and more people to consider entrepreneurship as a viable choice. We work in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8 of ‘Decent Work and Economic Growth’, which aims to tackle the growing problems of youth unemployment and access to opportunity.
