Six pathways to self-reliance

Project Udaan aims to support women, particularly those from underserved communities, in developing entrepreneurial capabilities and building pathways towards financial independence.

The programme focuses on encouraging women to explore business opportunities, strengthen their understanding of financial management, and develop the confidence to establish or grow small enterprises.

Through capacity building, entrepreneurship awareness, mentoring opportunities, and connections with relevant stakeholders, the initiative seeks to support women in converting their ideas and skills into sustainable economic activities.

Project Hunar focuses on equipping women and adolescent girls with practical vocational skills that can help them pursue employment, self-employment, and home-based income-generating opportunities.

The programme focuses on stitching, tailoring, and beauty services, with an emphasis on practical learning and the application of skills in real-world settings.

By helping participants develop market-relevant capabilities, the initiative aims to improve employability, encourage entrepreneurship, and create opportunities for women to contribute to their household incomes.

Project Prakriti seeks to engage women as active participants in environmental protection and community-level climate action.

The initiative promotes awareness of sustainable living, responsible resource use, waste reduction, and environmentally conscious practices. It also seeks to explore opportunities for women to participate in green livelihoods and community-led environmental initiatives.

By combining environmental awareness with women's participation and leadership, Project Prakriti aims to encourage more sustainable practices and strengthen community responsibility towards the environment.

Project Saksham aims to improve the visibility of women-led enterprises and create opportunities for women beneficiaries to showcase their products, skills, and entrepreneurial potential.

Alina Parmartham Foundation participates in events and public platforms, including the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon, while creating opportunities for its beneficiaries to exhibit their products at corporate offices, schools, CSR conferences, and other relevant events.

These platforms help women entrepreneurs engage with potential customers, corporate stakeholders, and institutional partners. They also provide opportunities to increase product visibility, build networks, and generate awareness about women's entrepreneurship and sustainable livelihoods.

Project Sanchar is a digital marketing course for youth and women that builds practical skills for promoting and selling products online.

Participants learn how to present products well, take clear product photographs, write simple posts, use social media and messaging platforms to reach customers, and handle online enquiries professionally.

The course also covers basic digital safety, online payments, and the use of free digital tools for small businesses — so women can market what they make with confidence, and youth can support local enterprises with job-ready skills.

Project Shiksha - Shala works to keep children in school by removing the small, everyday things that push them out — a missing notebook, no stationery, and no quiet place to study after hours.

Under the programme, school supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils and basic kits are put together and handed over to children in and around Dallupura, and learning support is arranged in community spaces where children can study with guidance.

The initiative also seeks to connect children who have fallen out of school with nearby schools and learning centres, and to work with families so that education is seen as a practical, achievable path rather than an unaffordable expense.
