GramShakti Certification Programme
Having proved the efficacy and relevance of Sakhi cadre in Assam and Rajasthan, Crisil Foundation devised an online
learning and certification programme called GramShakti incorporating all the best practices involved in training and
development of Sakhis. Accessed through a tech-based learning application, customised in regional languages with
interactive and engaging content, the programme comprises theory and practical assignments. The programme has
6,000+ end users and 2,491 certified cadre.
Livelihoods in Rajasthan
During 2023, a pilot project was started in Didwana, a Mein Pragati village, to support 35 unskilled rural women in rug
making and market linkage to improve their monthly incomes. Over the course of 6 months, the weavers were trained
and developed rugs, thereby generating income for their households. Over 2023-24, the pilot project was expanded to
cover an additional 98 women weavers (new cohorts) across four villages – Didwana, Ramgarh Pachwara, Kushalpura
and Nangal Rajatwan (Mein Pragati project locations).

Crisil remains acutely aware of the importance of inclusive procurement strategies, recognising that these approaches can
yield broader societal benefits by creating economic opportunities for disadvantaged communities. The supplier policies
of Crisil offers guidance on sourcing from these varied groups of suppliers, thereby strengthening our commitment to
