(ERWESD)

Principal Investigator: Dr J. Usha Sree ; Co-Investigator: Dr M. Jayalakshmi

We are proud to announce that Ravindra College of Engineering for Women has been awarded the prestigious Going Global Partnerships: Industry Academia Collaborative Grant 2024–25 by the British Council. Out of four selected institutions across India, ours is the only institute from South India to receive this honor, in collaboration with Teesside University, UK, and RMJ IT Solutions Pvt. Ltd. The grant, worth £29,990.88 (₹30, 00,000), will support the Empowering Rural Women through Skill Development for Enhanced Employability (ERWESD) project. This initiative focuses on providing rural women from Nandanapalli, Venkayapalli, and Pasupula with industry-relevant training, certifications, and essential IT and soft skills. The ERWESD project aims to uplift the socio-economic conditions of these communities through:

  • Industry certifications (e.g., Cambridge Lingua Skills)
  • IT and digital skills (e.g., Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Tally)
  • Practical exposure and community-based projects

This milestone highlights our commitment to fostering employability, gender equality, and sustainable growth.
