The representation of minorities in businesses, governance, and ownership of resources is a matter of critical concern for the nation. For a prosperous and inclusive society here is a need, amongst minorities, to grow and grow uniformly.
Due to lack of awareness of different welfare programs and schemes, and lower participation in the education, the under-representation of the community in the jobs and businesses, their ability to avail the schemes and opportunities continues to be a matter of concern. This drives a need to increase targeted assistance to generalize available opportunities so that all communities are benefited.
IMEDA envisions the role of facilitating through its various verticals and networks to help the community avail what is available to be availed in terms of education, training, skills, funds, schemes, employment, businesses and market opportunities. IMEDA works closely with the Governments at different levels, civil society organizations and professional bodies through IMEDA Fellows at the districts, blocks and city levels to ensure that process of availing of the schemes is simplified and the targeted beneficiaries facilitated. IMEDA will primarily be focusing on the following intervention areas:
Sharing of vacancies, assistance in enrolling with job portals, employment exchanges, training and coaching.
Organizing workshops by collaborating with various agencies and institutions.
On-site training, project reports, bank finance and equity support hand- holding, marketing support by linkages and online portals etc.
