Organized by MyEO Engage, a special interest group that promotes social change by inspiring and supporting EO members’ initiatives, MyEO Engage Social Impact Business Awards recognizes organizations whose actions and mandates are aligned with the UN SDGs in their own chapters.
AISECT has enabled the lives of rural people through skill development, placement assistance, financial inclusion and B2C and G2C services. The organization’s social initiatives are not only creating a positive social impact but are also helping achieve UN SDGs aimed at providing Quality Education, Gender Equality, Decent Work & Economic Growth and Reducing Inequalities.
Apart from executing numerous initiatives, AISECT has also established five premier higher education institutions in the remote corners of India. These institutions have been crucial in establishing a complete holistic framework, addressing the need for access to quality education and reducing the inequalities persisting between urban and rural India.
Talking about the achievement, Ms Pallavi Rao Chaturvedi, Executive Vice President of AISECT, said
“AISECT has been working to bridge the urban and rural divide across the country through its path-breaking initiatives aimed at generating employment and creating entrepreneurial opportunities for the rural youth for over three decades.
