NSDC Funded Organizations - 9 - GRAS Hospitality Services Ltd




GRAS Academy is an initiative of graduates from the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta who share a common desire to bring about social change by empowering the unemployed and out - of - work youth with vocational skills and make them ‘Eduployable’ [Educated   + Employable], capable of earning a livelihood and support their families.

GRAS Academy was launched in 2006, primarily as a training institute oriented towards the hospitality and retail sectors in large metropolitan areas. Over the last two years, as we created and developed successful programs in these areas, our goals also evolved in recognition of the fact, that an increasing number of youth in smaller cities and towns may have completed schooling, but few have marketable skills. As a result, many remained unemployed or were forced to seek employment in the large urban areas, far from their families and support systems.

In 2008, GRAS launched its specialist division - Skill Development and Employment Centres (SD & EC), an expansion to encompass skill-development across a variety of industry verticals in which skills were increasingly needed in smaller cities and towns.


It is our hope and belief that such skill-development opens doors to newer options for youth, increase their income generation potential, help them in utilization of prior education and personal talents, motivate them to participate in productive activity and expose them to a variety of subjects to choose the option of expressing personal preference and ability thus helping them in acquiring a secured employment close to home.

The Government of India’s recent initiative policy – The National Skill Development Mission, aimed at ‘empowering all individuals to enable them to get access to decent employment and to promote inclusive national growth’ calls for public-private partnership to ensure that its goals are met.

'We are proud to be a partner in the process of skills creation and empowerment of our youth, and hope our endeavours will assist in social inclusion becoming a reality in our nation.

GRAS Academy aims at delivering programs that support individuals, corporate and government initiatives offering vocational training, skills development and support employment opportunities.
