GRASSROOT STORY OF PARIVARTAN

EMANCIPATION THROUGH VOCATIONAL SKILL UPGRADATION

Jharkhand: An orphan with two siblings, Harawati hails from a remote village in rural Jharkhand. The primary earner in her family, that lacks financial and social security, is her 22 year old brother who is a circular migrant who intermittently migrates to cities and returns for cultivation of agricultural land during the rainy season. The family lived in a semi pucca house that lacks even the most basic facilities like electricity, clean drinking water or sewage facilities.

Parivartan helped Harawati Kumari undertake a vocational skill development course of Auxiliary Nursing Midwifery or ANM at Kaushal College. After the course, on-the-job training was also arranged for her at New Delhi.

With the help of Parivartan, Harawati cleared both first and second year of State Nursing Registration Council Exam with distinction. After completing the ANM course, Harawati was placed with the reputed Cloud Nine Group of Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, at a monthly CTC of Rs. 16,839. Her entire family now benefits from another dependable source of income. Harawati has been performing extremely well at her workplace and in an exceptionally noble act, she saved the life of a newborn baby stranded on a highway.

HDFC Bank adopted five areas under #Parivartan for holistic social work:

Rural Development
Promote Education
Skill Training and Livelihood Enhancement
Healthcare & Hygiene
Financial Literacy and Inclusion

The Sustainability element in the Integrated Annual Report outlines the work undertaken by the Bank by engaging with the communities to work on reducing poverty, achieving zero hunger, providing clean water & sanitation, quality education, and creating sustainable cities and communities to name a few.
