Newgen Software has launched an initiative aimed at enhancing the skills and digital literacy of women in underserved communities. The opening of a new skill development center in Okhla signifies a significant step in Newgen’s dedication to nurturing talent and promoting inclusive growth.

This center will serve as a vital resource for providing vocational training and digital education to the mothers of students involved in Newgen’s flagship social impact project, Newgen Digital Discovery Paathshala (NDDP). The initiative, under the NDDP Samarth Saarthi Samuh program, focuses on transforming the lives of women from the Harkesh Nagar and Tekhand localities in Okhla, Delhi, by equipping them with essential skills for self-reliance and success in the digital era.

Priyadarshini Nigam, Head of CSR at Newgen Software, expressed her excitement about the project, stating, “This innovative endeavor underscores our commitment to empowering less privileged girls and women with vital skills and knowledge. Our goal is to extend our impact beyond empowering girls in government schools through the NDDP program to transforming their entire communities.”

The mothers of NDDP students had shown a strong desire to learn and develop during interactions with Newgen’s CSR volunteers at digital summer camps and weekly online sessions. Inspired by these insights, Newgen embarked on this initiative to bridge the digital divide through education and skill development.

In partnership with renowned NGOs such as Each One Feed One and I AM Wellbeing, Newgen aims to create a comprehensive ecosystem that supports skill development and promotes overall well-being. This multi-faceted approach is set to make a significant impact on the lives of many women and their families.
