Leaving no one behind means equality of opportunity, access and accessibility. It involves developing convergence and ensuring commitment towards a common goal: a better future for all. And UDYAMITA is 100% aligned with that.

More than ever before, in post-COVID India, livelihoods of lacs of people shall remain in uncertainty. Besides job-cuts, there is also a slowdown with respect to creation of new jobs.

While whole-hearted actions are taking place to ensure provisions for the less privileged in such times, the thrust needs to be on boosting hyperlocal livelihood creation through a rapid movement of nano/micro-entrepreneurship and ensuring self-sufficiency. Boosting self-employment can unleash economic opportunities at the base of the pyramid.

UDYAMITA has become all the more critical and relevant in these times when there is a need for building the necessary mechanism for future-proofing and for averting backsliding of the low-income households (LIHs) of reverse migrants and jobless into destitution.
