KSWA was founded in 1928 by late Sri. B.G.Kher, the first premier of Bombay state. KSWA started the 'yuva parivartan' (yp) movement in 1998 to cater the unmotivated school dropouts & make them economically independent through vocational training. The movement was formally launched by the then president Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
We have 30 centers of our own,25 mini outreach centers & remaining 20 are in partnership with NGOs & social entrepreneurs.
For boys we run courses like electrical wireman, home appliance repair, a/c refrigeration mechanic, motor mechanic, mobile repairing; for girls tailoring & fashion designing, beautician & mehendi , nursing & common courses like retailing, computers & English speaking.
We have trained 60000 students in vocational training since 1998. Last year we trained 18000 students. We plan to train 1 lakh students by partnering with other ngo's & conducting camp projects in villages.
After completion of training, we help get students employed/self employed.
