MUMBAI -- Godrej Disha, component of the Good & Green endeavour, designed to skill underprivileged youth has, as on January 2020, trained almost 1,41,408 youth across India.

Godrej Disha, the company has partnered with various non-profit organizations and social enterprises to design training programs in vocational skills that are linked to their businesses.

Several of the courses furnish training for capabilities linked to IoT, Industry 4.0, ERP systems and exclusive training for PwDs. By the conclusion of 2020, Godrej & Boyce aims at having trained 1.5 lac youth.
George Menezes, Head of the Skilling Initiative at Godrej & Boyce and COO, Godrej Electricals & Electronics observed, "India has one of the largest young populations in the world; sadly, most are unemployable as they lack the requisite skills required by the industry. For a country to progress, making its youth employable is an absolute imperative. The 'demographic dividend' can only become a reality when we equip the youth, to find meaningful employment or become entrepreneurs. This will not only drive employment but also fuel consumption that is needed to sustain our economic growth trajectory. In line with the 'Skill India' mission, through the Godrej Disha initiative, we've decided to invest in helping skill India's youth. This is one of the key initiatives under the Good & Green CSR program. Initiatives such as Skill India and efforts to revamp the approach to education and are vital aspects of the nation's growth strategy."
