Divya, a young mother from Dharavi (Mumbai), holds her newborn child to her chest. Her husband, Rajesh, worked as a daily wage earner but often found himself unemployed due to his lack of skills. Disappointment and helplessness drove him to take his own life. With no income, Priya is left to care for her newborn alone, unable to feed her child or see a path forward, trapped in a cycle of गरीबी (poverty), भूख (hunger), and निराशा (hopelessness).
Unfortunately, this is not just Divya’s story. It’s a story of crores of Indians. 19 crore Indians go to bed hungry every night. Poverty denies 13 crore children access to basic शिक्षा (education). A 1% increase in बेरोज़गारी (unemployment) leads to a 14% rise in अपराध (crime rates).
In a country as diverse and dynamic as India, बेरोज़गारी (unemployment) cuts across regions, ages, and backgrounds. Among the 4.2 crore unemployed Indians today, the root cause is not always a lack of opportunities—it’s the skill-gap. Even educated individuals find themselves ill-equipped for jobs because they lack the practical, industry-relevant skills that employers demand.
This skill-gap has created a vicious cycle of भूख (hunger), गरीबी (poverty), बेरोज़गारी (unemployment), नशा (addiction), and अपराध (crime). It holds back not just individuals but the progress of our entire nation. Breaking this cycle requires more than small steps and changes—it demands innovative, inclusive solutions.
AjnaVidya was born out of the urgent need to help crores of people like Priya across the country. It’s not just a product or a platform; it’s a movement designed to transform learning into doing; dreaming into achieving. Powered by India’s first true Mixed Reality headset, AjnaXR Pro, AjnaVidya is on a mission to make Indians सशक्त (empowered) to believe in their potential by providing accessible, immersive learning opportunities.

AjnaVidya began its initiative in Karnataka, where it partnered with ITIs to upgrade 150 institutes with modern training standards. This initiative provided hands-on skill training to 9,000 students.
Today, AjnaVidya has expanded to over 700 locations across 7 states, upskilling more than 1 lakh individuals annually. Trusted by the Indian Armed Forces and Fortune 500 companies, AjnaVidya has become an आशा की किरण (ray of hope) for many families like Priya’s.
AjnaVidya’s impact goes beyond statistics—it’s about transforming lives. Individuals who once faced निराशा (hopelessness) now find themselves equipped with skills, confidence, and the ability to support their families with dignity.
AjnaVidya is driven by a powerful vision: "AjnaVidya is an आशा की किरण (ray of hope), calling every Indian to rise up, skill-up, and build a brighter future by bridging the skill-gap and transforming lives."
This vision aligns with India’s aspirations for economic growth, social equity, and global leadership—the vision of Viksit Bharat. We aim to ensure that no mother goes hungry, no child is denied an education, and no worker loses dignity due to a lack of skills.
AjnaVidya is not just about skilling individuals—it’s about bridging gaps to uplift families, communities, and the nation as a whole. Rajesh’s tragedy may have been unavoidable, but for crores of others, AjnaVidya offers a second chance—a way to break free from the shackles of गरीबी (poverty) and निराशा (hopelessness).
This is just the beginning. With every ITI upgraded, every learner empowered, and every skill mastered, we are building a brighter, more inclusive India. Our inspiration? Divya’s story should not repeat.
Together, let’s rise up, skill up, and create a future full of आशा (hope) and opportunity.
Come, become a skill-सेतु.
