Harjit

Grassroots entrepreneurship

In the heart of Punjab, where fields stretch as far as the eye can see and the spirit of resilience runs deep, there are countless young people with dreams as vast as the land itself. Among them are ITI students, skilled in their trades, but often confined by the boundaries of opportunity.

Take **Harjit**, a young man from a small village near Ludhiana. Like many others, he completed his ITI course with high hopes but soon found himself working odd jobs, unable to find a path that could fulfill his potential. He had the skills, the will to succeed, but not the guidance to turn his abilities into something more.

Rather than waiting for someone else to create change, we empower students like Harjit to **become the change**. Our program taps into the very essence of Punjab’s fighting spirit, transforming skilled individuals into entrepreneurs. We teach them how to take what they’ve learned and build something bigger—not just for themselves, but for their families, their villages, and for Punjab.

Harjit learned how to identify problems in his community and turn them into business opportunities. With mentorship, resources, and a platform that valued **local innovation**, he started a small machine repair shop in his village. It didn’t take long before his business grew, and soon, other ITI graduates joined him, forming a network of entrepreneurs who were creating jobs and solving problems, right at the grassroots level.

Today, Harjit is not just a small business owner—he’s a **leader**. His success inspires others in the community, proving that **grassroots entrepreneurship in Punjab** isn’t just about starting businesses; it’s about reigniting the entrepreneurial spirit that runs through our land, uplifting entire communities from within.

Like Harjit, there are thousands of young people across Punjab ready to transform their skills into thriving businesses. Our mission is to be the bridge between their talent and opportunity. By fostering grassroots entrepreneurship, we are planting seeds for a future where every ITI student can turn their hard work and dreams into lasting impact.

Together, we are building a **self-reliant Punjab**, one entrepreneur at a time.
