The CSR division of NSDC aims to co-create transformative flagship programs that advance entrepreneurship and skill development as pathways to socio-economic empowerment. With a strong focus on improving quality of life, resilience and income generation, these initiatives prioritize vulnerable groups and marginalized communities ensuring equitable access to opportunities and resources amongst them.

CSR: From Funding Activities to Creating Outcomes
NSDC’s CSR initiatives are designed to create measurable socio-economic impact by focusing not just on training, but on sustainable livelihoods. Every program is built around the learner’s journey-enabling individuals to gain skills, secure employment, pursue entrepreneurship, increase incomes, and improve their quality of life.
Through partnerships with corporates, industry, training providers, employers, and community organizations, NSDC creates an ecosystem that supports learners from aspiration to achievement, with a special focus on youth, women, persons with disabilities, transgender persons, minorities, and other underserved communities.
The NSDC Difference
Traditional CSR Approach
Investment → Training → Program Completion
NSDC CSR Approach
