OUR TEAM
In India, skill-based education is generally obtained through short-term training or courses, which are not always part of formal education and are not easily accessible to people of all levels and stages. It is important to ensure specialised skill training is given to rural people to improve their livelihood. Our team members outstretch remote villages with rural tourism initiatives to UpSkill all community-based tourism stakeholders.
An interdisciplinary team of experts with years of field experience.
