The information technology major — through its YouthSpark initiative — along with a voluntary organization, is providing basic IT and job skills to sex workers and their children at the 'Pahal Centre' on Garstin Bastion road in New Delhi.
"There are certain groups who lack access to opportunities more severely than others and require more targeted intervention. The youth we are working with at the Pahal centre are one such segment of society," says Madhu Khatri, head-citizenship, Microsoft India.
Microsoft is engaged with the Pahal Centre through Aide Et Action International, an international development-profit organization.
The Pahal Centre is in operation since September 2014. Already, two batches consisting of 30 students each (who were taught basic IT skills and spoken English for three months) have graduated.
