Dalmia Bharat Foundation Signs Vision India Deal to Expand Jobs Across 35 DIKSHa Centres
2 articles · Updated · TheCSRUniverse · May 29
Dalmia Bharat Foundation signed an MoU with Vision India Services to widen job access for youth trained under DIKSHa, its placement-linked skilling programme operating through 35 centres in India.
Vision India will provide DIKSHa candidates free access to its paid JustJob platform, adding employer outreach, interview coordination, counselling support and placement drives across multiple trades.
DIKSHa currently runs in 11 states and has trained more than 29,600 youth, with a placement rate above 75% and women making up nearly 60% of beneficiaries.
The tie-up is meant to deepen industry links through Vision India's network of employers including Schneider Electric, GMR, Maruti Suzuki and Sodexo, extending livelihood opportunities near Dalmia Bharat's operating areas.
This deal promises jobs for thousands, but does it signal a systemic failure in India’s vocational training ecosystem?
With a 75% placement rate, will this new partnership deliver higher wages and better long-term careers for skilled youth?
As corporations link skilling with hiring, are we seeing a new, more effective model for corporate social responsibility emerge?
