The launch of the Digital Sakhi project in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh.
L&T Finance extends its flagship CSR project to Uttar Pradesh A hundred rural women in Uttar Pradesh will now spread their wings, thanks to Digital Sakhi, the flagship CSR project of L&T Finance (LTF). The project will train these women to spread digital and financial literacy to rural communities across 400 villages in Kushinagar district of Uttar Pradesh. They will identify and provide training to 1,000 rural women entrepreneurs, enabling them to expand and strengthen their micro-businesses. The project bolsters United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 5 - Gender Equality. LTF has set a target to reach over five lakh people in Uttar Pradesh under this project by the end of 2028. The Digital Sakhi initiative has already readied a regiment of over 1,770 women who have spread digital and financial literacy to over 45 lakh individuals and have helped upskill over 14,000 women entrepreneurs in various states. The CSR initiative makes a significant impact on the lives of rural women and their families, fostering financial inclusion, entrepreneurship and sustainable development – and giving them the immeasurable benefit of social uplift.

L&T does its bit to prepare underprivileged youth for the future
To prepare young adults from underprivileged backgrounds for corporate careers, L&T’s Head Office CSR, in collaboration with the HR team, conducted a soft-skill development workshop on 17 July.
The participants were 70 students from a non-profit named Bright Future India, which offers soft-skill training, assists in securing jobs that ensure financial stability and provides training in entrepreneurship and livelihoods to underprivileged youth. The workshop was hosted at L&T’s swank corporate office, AMN Tower at Powai in Mumbai, giving the participants their first glimpse of corporate life.
With Nishad Mehta (Head – Leadership Development & OD, Corporate HR), and his colleagues Saurabh Lotilkar and Deepti Cornellio acting as the resource persons, the day-long workshop covered the significance of soft skills, interview dos and don’ts, the importance of communication and the corporate working environment. To round off the session, the students were taken to L&T’s corporate experience centre, Planet L&T, where they were impressed by the scale and scope of the projects executed by L&T and the accolades the Company has received over the years. The learnings from the workshop are likely to help these students from a humble background make an entry into the corporate world.
