Project SAMRUDHI is a flagship initiative of Crompton CSR Foundation, implemented by Centre for Youth (C4Y), to upskill field technicians through structured skill development.

The programme focuses on strengthening technical competencies, safety awareness, product knowledge, customer-handling skills and professional conduct. Delivered through a two-day Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) model, the training combines classroom learning, hands-on demonstrations, product familiarisation and soft-skills sessions.

C4Y successfully conducted trainings for 1,000 field technicians across 32 batches, covering 18 cities in 10 states, with support from ESSCI and Tech Mahindra Foundation. The project contributed to improved service quality, confidence, employability and livelihood opportunities.

The designated fellows have been participating in the #WaterSmart Boot Camps and the Communication & Documentation Workshops.

Representatives from UNICEF, Tata Trusts, Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), Plan India, Centre for Science & Environment, J S Water Energy Life Co, Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI), Argyam, WaterAid India, Water for People and S M Sehgal Foundation shared their approaches and experiences in addressing integrated water resource management and conservation issues with young learners.

The communication and documentation experts — Jyotsna Roy, Kanika Khanna and Akanksha Sood — also enabled designated fellows on their deliverables: project outline, case studies, blog and short film.

Access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services is a fundamental right and a key Sustainable Development Goal. Women and children from disadvantaged communities are often most affected by the lack of safe public sanitation facilities.

The Pink Toilet Programme was designed to provide safe, accessible, environment-friendly, self-sustaining and multi-purpose WASH facilities for women, children and persons with disabilities. Beyond restroom access, these spaces promote health and hygiene awareness, provide access to essential services and support sensitisation on WASH and waste management.

The programme is supported by capacity-building partners including Shakti Shalini, PVR Cinemas, Diversey India Hygiene, Sirona Hygiene Foundation, WaterAid and others.
