Among 30 million orphans, only 3,70,000 are in childcare institution.
With 1.35 billion inhabitants, India is the country with the second-largest population in the world. Approximately 158.8 million people are under the age of six in the population. Thirty million of these kids are orphans, accounting for a sizeable share of the young population. Just 370,000 of the 30 million children are enrolled in daycare centres. India has a large number of orphans as a result of several national problems. In a 2016–17 research, the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) discovered that there are 9,589 orphanages (CCI). Just 9% of these receive support from the government, as 91% of them are non-governmental.
First of all, a large number of children in India are left orphaned due to their parents' inability to support them or their decision to flee a hazardous circumstance. According to the International Learning Movement (ILM), a large number of parents choose to forsake their children rather than making an effort to care for them, with over half of the population living in poverty. A child must be in an orphanage or adoptive home in India in order to be eligible for adoption. The youngster is now considered to be "legally free for adoption."
Even worse, according to DW, 91% of orphanages that are not directly managed by the government are not associated with adoption agencies, rendering them essentially unnoticeable to the general public. The process of adoption can be challenging and demoralising for those who are considering parenthood. According to DW, in a report, prospective parents express dissatisfaction with "a lack of support from services while applying for adoption." Prospective parents must contend with a "lack of information and transparency from the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA)" as well as frequent "delays and uncertainty of referrals."
How dangerous it is to be an orphanage!
Millions of orphans in India are left to fend for themselves on the streets, where they are vulnerable to several threats. The most harmful kind is trafficking since it targets unprotected minors for exploitation. According to DW, although the orphans who wander the streets are shielded from the law, they are defenceless because there is no physical force to keep them safe. The U.S. Department of State's Trafficking in Persons report for 2022 states that 59% of the trafficked victims in India were female, while 47% of the trafficked individuals were minors. Of the girls, 27% are married before turning 18, and they are typically sold as child brides. According to ILM, the youngsters are frequently coerced into fighting for radical organisations.
“Bhakshak” movie is eye opener. Leadership to women who is under impression of her husband will not bring a change in nation.  Stop giving money to beggars and for drastic change a wealthy person should donate in population control and education to these children.  We need an attention of entrepreneurs for it. CSR activities should be conducted wisely.

Be Part Of Our Nation’s Growth - Enable an NGO Working For Skill Development
A nation’s evolution depends significantly on developing its youth and women. A country requires proper training and skill development mechanisms so that its people can leverage their potential and positively impact the nation’s economy. India has a pool of bright youth and women compared to other countries where the working population is diminishing day by day. The median age of India’s population is twenty-eight years, which denotes that we have much to gain as a younger workforce implies accelerated economic growth and development in various spheres. 
However, India faces many challenges when it comes to skill development and needs to catch up. Women’s participation in our country’s workforce has been below adequate levels for many decades. We can not reap the benefits of our demographic dividend in its entirety if we do not strive to bridge this gap at the earliest. 
Let us delve into why skill development is so crucial, what challenges the Indian population faces in their skill development, and how an NGO working for skill development can make a massive difference in this endeavor.
The Significance of Skill Development for a Nation
Skill development refers to the process of enhancing existing skills or acquiring new ones. Skill development enables people to become more employable and gain a competitive edge in the job market. 
Through various training and certification programs, youth can develop their skills as required by the job arena. One can opt for apprenticeships, on-the-job training, formal schooling, or vocational training to gain skills.
Makes you more competitive and improves income - Employers need employees who are up-to-date with the latest skills, and one needs to change with changes in market trends. So, people need to upgrade their skills to stay ahead of the competition. If you have modernized skills, you have better chances of landing a job with high pay.
Bridges the gap between education qualification and job requirements - In most cases, there is a considerable gap between the knowledge that educational institutes impart and what an industry needs. Skill development aims to bridge this gap and make youth better equipped to handle jobs.
Makes a person independent - As one goes on gaining skills and upgrading themselves, they get opportunities to become entrepreneurs and launch their own firms, which in turn boosts the economy. Entrepreneurship and self-employment are rising trends, and skill development is crucial in letting people have the ability to achieve these dreams.
Facilitates occupation changes - People can change their professions numerous times during their lives in today’s competitive job market by improving their skills. Once you learn new abilities and information through skill development programs, you can change your job paths as and when needed.
Facilitates social mobility - Youth from any background can move up the social ladder with the help of skill development as it gives them equal opportunities to compete in the job arena.
Helps a developing nation compete with developed countries - The current era is for the skilled, and a country can only hope to compete with other developed nations with a skilled workforce. Sadly, our education system has not yet evolved and keeps churning out unemployable graduates.
The Current Scenario in India’s Skill Development
As per a report, a developing economy like India needs approximately 103 million skilled workers. 
Contrary to this requirement, more than thirty percent of youth and women (around a hundred million) between fifteen and twenty-nine years of age are not employed or in any education or training programs (NEET). 
Amongst the unemployed hundred million, more than eighty percent are young women. Though there has been a rise in the number of women receiving vocational training over the years, it is still much less than men (less than half.)
A report in 2015 on the National Policy on Skill Development and Entrepreneurship revealed that only 4.7 percent of the entire workforce of India received formal skill training, while that in the USA was fifty-two percent and in South Korea was ninety-six percent.
NSDC (National Skill Development Corporation) did a study on the skill gap, which showed that India needs an additional 10.97 crore skilled manpower in twenty-four key industry sectors by 2022. Also, around 29.82 crore workforce in farm and nonfarm areas must be reskilled or up-skilled.
Challenges Around Skill Development
The challenges that India faces in making women participate in the labor force are multifaceted. Though the government takes measures to ensure higher rates of enrolment in primary, secondary, and higher education for women and curb dropout rates, there is a vast number of women who hold degrees but are not employed.
Social and cultural hindrances - The number of women holding degrees but being unemployed points to the fact that literacy alone can not ensure employment. Women face many social, cultural, and historical barriers that must be addressed. To worsen the situation, the women who enter the workforce experience gender bias that puts them in a disadvantageous position against men. Women are also expected to perform unpaid domestic work and care, which hinders them from working in the formal workforce. 
Responsibility overburden - The government’s skill development initiative “Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna” launched its Phase III in 2020-21 with an aim to provide skill development programs to more than eight lakh Indians. However, this initiative depends heavily on District Skills Development Committees (DSC). The DSCs are chaired by the district collectors who have many other responsibilities, and skill development does not get the priority that it needs.
Massive increase in number of new entrants - As per NSDC, more than seven crore new people between fifteen and fifty-nine years of age are going to enter the labor force by 2023. This sheer number of people who need skill development needs adequate policy efforts in place.
Discontinuity of policy processes - In 2013, NSDA (National Skill Development Agency) was established to handle issues of inter-departmental and inter-ministerial problems. However, NCVT is now part of NSCT (National Council for Vocational Training), which reflects a break in the policy process and also a lack of clarity on the part of policymakers.
Employers’ reluctance - The joblessness issue in India is not just because of a lack of skills but also due to SMEs' and industrialists' reluctance to recruit. Due to banks’ NPAs (Performing Assets), there is less credit availability, resulting in a decline in investment rates. This eventually impacts the creation of new jobs.
NGOs Enhance the Skill Development Progress
NGOs' strength lies in their community-focused approach, where they reach out to the majority of people living in dispersal rural or cut-off zones to provide aid to victims and facilitate social restorations. 
NGOs work at lower costs - NGOs are capable of mobilizing and reaching poor and remote communities and empowering poor people to gain control of their lives by working with local institutions and strengthening them. They are also more efficient than government agencies and carry out projects at lower costs for sustainable development. NGO mantra is a social awakening that includes legal literacy. 
Mobilization of youth - NGOs use various mobilization tools such as meeting with communities at night, door-to-door contacts, meeting with parents, social media advertising, etc., to reach out to the youth and propagate the activities of SEDI (Skill and Entrepreneurship Development Institutes). 
Scan skills - NGOs scan local industries to find out skills they require in different areas and upgrade syllabi to make youth employable after schooling. This method ensures youths find jobs locally in regional businesses.
On-the-job training - By facilitating workplace experiences and on-the-job training, NGOs acquaint the students with the realities of the world, which prepares them for employment.
Build Strength of an NGO Working For Skill Development
Skill development needs significant contributions from both the public and private sectors, along with help from educational institutions. The government alone can not meet the needs of the humongous population of unemployed youth and women in India. 
Hence, NGOs like Search NGO have taken it upon themselves to reduce inequality in poor households by equipping them with skills needed for generating employment. Donating to NGOs that support skill development will build employable skills in the youth and women of India and bridge the wide gap that exists currently.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau Varanasi, 21st Oct. Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone and inaugurated multiple development projects in Varanasi on Sunday, marking a significant investment of over ₹6,100 crore. The projects include various airport expansions and initiatives aimed at bolstering infrastructure and services across multiple sectors such as education, healthcare, sports, and tourism. Addressing a large gathering, PM Modi highlighted the importance of these initiatives for the city’s youth and the broader community, calling it an “auspicious occasion for Kashi.” He emphasized that the newly inaugurated RJ Sankara Eye Hospital would benefit the elderly and children. The Prime Minister also noted the expansion of airport infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh, which he said would enhance connectivity and create job opportunities. PM Modi underscored the government’s decade-long campaign to build national infrastructure, focusing on improving services and generating employment. He mentioned that the construction of highways and railways, alongside the establishment of new airports, has significantly boosted tourism, agriculture, and industry in the region. He pointed to the Babatpur Airport expansion as a key project that would increase passenger capacity and benefit local communities. The Prime Minister reiterated his vision for Kashi, describing it as a “model city” where development and heritage coexist. He highlighted the progress of key infrastructure projects like the Ring Road, the Ganjari Stadium, and the Rudraksh Convention Center. “Today, Kashi’s wide roads and beautiful ghats are captivating everyone,” he remarked, citing the city’s transformation. PM Modi also touched upon the government’s focus on empowering women and youth, mentioning schemes like the Mudra Yojana, which supports women entrepreneurs. He emphasized the goal of creating “Lakhpati Didis” in rural areas and highlighted the new PM Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme, designed to provide free power to households and enable women to earn income. The Prime Minister’s speech also took a critical turn, as he questioned past governments’ lack of progress in Varanasi and contrasted it with his administration’s achievements, including the construction of the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya. He noted the historic reservation for women in Parliament and other achievements such as the abolition of Triple Talaq and granting reservation to economically backward classes. Addressing the youth of Varanasi, PM Modi reiterated his call for bringing one lakh young individuals from non-political backgrounds into the political fold, aiming to eliminate corruption and dynastic politics. He encouraged young people to take an active role in the nation’s political transformation, assuring them of his commitment as their Member of Parliament. The Prime Minister concluded by congratulating the people of Kashi on the new development programs, positioning the city as a symbol of India’s progress. He was joined by Governor of Uttar Pradesh Smt. Anandiben Patel, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and Union Minister for Civil Aviation Shri Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu, among other dignitaries. With the upcoming infrastructure developments and investments, Varanasi continues to be a focal point of the government’s efforts to modernize and elevate urban centers while preserving their rich cultural heritage.

Modern Indian Businesswomen Shaping the Future
Tumblr media
Breaking Barriers
The landscape of Indian business is undergoing a transformative shift, thanks to a new wave of dynamic women leaders who are redefining the rules of success. These modern businesswomen are not only breaking traditional barriers but are also leading their industries with vision, resilience, and a commitment to social change. From the technology sector to finance, retail, and social entrepreneurship, Indian women are playing a crucial role in shaping the future of business and demonstrating how inclusive leadership can drive innovation and growth.
The Rise of Female Entrepreneurs in India
India’s startup ecosystem, once a male-dominated arena, has witnessed a remarkable rise in the number of women-led businesses. This surge is attributed to increased access to education, government initiatives encouraging female entrepreneurship, and changing societal attitudes towards women in business. One of the most striking aspects of this transformation is the diversity of industries in which women are excelling. From tech-driven enterprises like Richa Kar’s Zivame (an online lingerie platform) to Falguni Nayar’s Nykaa, a beauty e-commerce company that became a billion-dollar venture, Indian women are building businesses that are both financially successful and socially impactful.
Challenges and Resilience
While the growth of female entrepreneurs in India is promising, the journey has not been without challenges. Deep-rooted gender biases, societal expectations, and a lack of access to funding have historically impeded the progress of women in business. However, the new generation of female leaders has exhibited remarkable resilience in overcoming these barriers.
Breaking Stereotypes: Leading Male-Dominated Industries
One of the most inspiring aspects of modern Indian businesswomen is their ability to break into traditionally male-dominated industries. Sectors like manufacturing, technology, and finance, once seen as off-limits for women, are now being led by some of the country’s most successful female entrepreneurs.
Social Entrepreneurship: Combining Profit with Purpose
A growing number of Indian businesswomen are leveraging their platforms to create social change, embracing social entrepreneurship as a means of addressing pressing societal challenges. Women like Ela Bhatt, the founder of SEWA (Self-Employed Women’s Association), have shown how entrepreneurship can be a tool for empowerment, particularly for underprivileged and marginalized communities. SEWA focuses on providing women in informal sectors access to resources and opportunities, thereby fostering economic independence and improving quality of life.
Redefining Leadership: Women-Centric Policies and Inclusive Cultures
Another significant contribution of modern Indian businesswomen is their role in redefining leadership and workplace culture. These leaders are championing the cause of gender diversity and inclusion, ensuring that more women have a seat at the table in leadership roles. Companies led by women often adopt policies that are more inclusive, promote work-life balance, and prioritize the well-being of their employees.
Mentorship and Empowerment: Nurturing the Next Generation
Today’s successful businesswomen recognize the importance of mentorship and empowerment in shaping the next generation of leaders. Many prominent female entrepreneurs actively mentor young women, helping them navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship and corporate leadership. Through mentorship programs, incubators, and women-focused networks, they are creating pathways for aspiring entrepreneurs to thrive.

How Indian Businesswomen Are Reshaping the Landscape?
Tumblr media
The Power Shift
For decades, the narrative of Indian business leadership was dominated by men. However, a remarkable transformation is underway. Today, Indian businesswomen are shattering glass ceilings and reshaping the landscape across diverse sectors. This is not just a story of individual success; it’s a collective rise that is redefining leadership styles, driving innovation, and creating a more inclusive business ecosystem in India.
In the dynamic world of Indian business, a remarkable transformation is underway. Women are not only breaking barriers but also reshaping the very fabric of the industry. This power shift is fueled by a new generation of Indian businesswomen who are challenging norms, driving innovation, and making significant contributions to the economy. Their stories of resilience, vision, and leadership are inspiring a broader cultural change that is redefining the Indian business landscape.
Historical Context and Evolution
Traditionally, Indian society has been patriarchal, with women primarily confined to domestic roles. However, the post-independence era saw gradual changes, with increasing emphasis on women’s education and empowerment. By the late 20th century, as economic liberalization took root, women began to seize new opportunities in the workforce and entrepreneurship.
Trailblazers and Their Impact
The rise of Indian businesswomen can be attributed to the pioneering efforts of several trailblazers who paved the way for future generations. Their success stories are not just personal achievements but also powerful symbols of possibility and change.
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw: As the founder of Biocon, Mazumdar-Shaw has been a pioneer in the biopharmaceutical industry. Starting in 1978 with a capital of Rs. 10,000, she faced significant skepticism and gender bias. Today, Biocon is a global leader, and Mazumdar-Shaw is an icon of entrepreneurial success, known for her innovation and strategic vision.
Breaking Through Barriers:
The journey for Indian businesswomen hasn’t been easy. Societal norms, limited access to funding, and a lack of female role models historically presented significant hurdles. However, a new generation of women are defying expectations. Armed with strong educational backgrounds, global exposure, and an unwavering entrepreneurial spirit, they are carving their own paths.
Building a More Inclusive Ecosystem:
As more women reach leadership positions, they are actively paving the way for others. They are mentoring young women, advocating for equal opportunities, and investing in female-led ventures. This creates a ripple effect, fostering a more inclusive business environment where women can thrive.
Challenges and the Road Ahead:
Despite the significant progress made, challenges remain. Gender pay gaps persist, and access to funding for female entrepreneurs can still be limited. Additionally, societal biases and the burden of traditional gender roles can continue to hinder women’s advancement.

Priyanka Chigurupati – Leading Granules India Forward
Priyanka Chigurupati, a dynamic second-generation entrepreneur, is propelling her family’s pharmaceutical business, Granules India, into new heights. Starting her journey with Granules India as a marketing manager for a region-specific division, she quickly rose to oversee a new API facility and establish the US team for Granules Inc.
Tumblr media
Early Life and Education
Priyanka’s path to the pharmaceutical industry was not initially clear. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, she pursued her passion for fashion by obtaining an associate degree in Applied Science (Fashion Marketing) from Parsons, the New School of Design. She launched her fashion label, Chigurupati, designing Western and Indo-Western apparel for young women and retailing through e-commerce platforms, which was a novel approach at the time.
Entering the Family Business
In 2012, Priyanka was invited to join Granules India, the family-owned pharmaceutical company with operations in Hyderabad and the US. Granules India Ltd. is a vertically integrated pharmaceutical company focusing on R&D and multi-product delivery, including the manufacture of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), Pharmaceutical Formulation Intermediates (PFIs), and Finished Dosages (FDs). Reflecting on her decision, Priyanka says, “I joined the family business of pharmaceuticals after pondering on what to do post my education in the US.”
Starting as a marketing manager, Priyanka embraced a collaborative approach, valuing collective decision-making over unilateral actions. This philosophy not only facilitated her learning but also instilled the confidence to influence organizational strategy, shifting the company’s focus towards manufacturing excellence.
Career Progression and Achievements
After a brief sabbatical, Priyanka returned to Granules India to manage a newly acquired API facility and subsequently relocated to the US. There, she drove the over-the-counter division as a project manager, later expanding her responsibilities to the prescription side of the business, which posed a new set of challenges due to the company’s limited R&D emphasis at the time. Her efforts culminated in her appointment as Executive Director of Granules Pharmaceuticals Inc. (GPI), where she oversaw the global business front-end, achieving 30+ abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) filings and their commercialization.
Currently, Priyanka leads the entire US generics business, which generates 50% of Granules’ overall revenues. She also manages the company’s portfolio and spearheads investor relations. Under her leadership, Granules has thrived in the competitive US generics market, maintaining a strong presence even as other Indian drug makers retreated from highly commoditized molecules like Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.
Expanding Horizons
Granules is actively expanding its operations, including setting up a new Multi-Unit Pellet System (MUPS) block in Telangana and an API block for medium to high-volume products. Internationally, the company is making inroads into Europe and enhancing its US market share. The company has seen significant growth, with consolidated revenue reaching Rs 2,598.65 crore in FY 19–20 and continued growth during the pandemic, driven by its essential services designation and commitment to uninterrupted medicine supply.
Personal Passions and Inspirations
Beyond her professional achievements, Priyanka is passionate about fitness and fashion, continuing to write and blog on these interests. Inspired by her marathon-running parents, who earned a Guinness World Record in 2010, she brings the same dedication and resilience to her leadership at Granules. Priyanka aims to consolidate and strengthen Granules’ position as a billion-dollar company, empowering her team to share in the organization’s vision with strong conviction and commitment.
Through her strategic vision and innovative leadership, Priyanka Chigurupati is not only honoring her family’s legacy but also ensuring Granules India’s sustained growth and success in the global pharmaceutical industry.
