Vocational training in India

Nagar, Gujarat, in providing vocational training in the field of electrical engineering, AC repair, Tailoring, refrigeration, plumbing and beautician.
Vocational training was provided to inmates at Bilodra Jail who are soon to be released, in the fields of being a basic electrician, plumber and refrigeration repairman. Female inmates are taught fashion design/sewing. The goal is to leave the jail with skills that will lead to gainful employment/rehabilitation upon release.
GKHET is proud to have partnered with SHWAS foundation.
Under this program we have adopted a school in the slums of Ahmedabad for tutoring, after school programs including Education, culture, sports and free daily dinner for all the students in the center. We are also teaching students about overall growth and personal hygiene. The toughest challenge is to convince kids to come for after school programs so often we have to give them incentives to come to the center.
