  • Since

    2017

Kashish is dedicated to delivering quality services to its clients, whether they are corporate entities, government organizations, or non-governmental Read more entities. We pride ourselves on being a versatile and skilled firm, offering a wide range of industry-specific solutions. We believe that access to education is not just about availability and accessibility but also about ensuring quality and adaptability. Education should contribute to the holistic growth and development of individuals while promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, as outlined in international agreements such as the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Kashish operates as a unique Public-Private Partnership under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship in India. Our goal is to foster skill development by facilitating the establishment of high-quality vocational training institutions that are financially sustainable. We provide funding to support the development of scalable, for-profit vocational training initiatives. Additionally, we work to establish support systems such as quality assurance mechanisms, information systems, and trainer academies, either directly or through strategic partnerships. By serving as a catalyst for skill development, we aim to attract private investment and enhance the viability of vocational training across 21 sectors under the purview of the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC).
