Accenture helping Rajasthan reduce unemployment, build skill development ecosystem

MUMBAI: Accenture, the New York Stock Exchange listed technology and consultancy major, on Wednesday said it has helped Rajasthan Skill and Livelihoods Development Corporation ( RSLDC) develop and implement an information technology system for real-time monitoring of the organization’s work to build skills and reduce unemployment in Rajasthan.

Accenture has been helping RSLDC to reduce unemployment and train people in the state. “This association with RSLDC marks Accenture’s first foray into the skills and livelihood space at the state level in India,” said Sanjeev Gupta, managing director of Accenture’s health & public service practice in India. “Our deep experience with training systems, broad range of work for other government agencies in India, and prior involvement with other skill councils provided a solid foundation to implement this project.”

Accenture is also providing action plans to help RSLDC build a stronger skill development ecosystem in Rajasthan.

“The partnership with Accenture has helped us advance our objective of implementing appropriate and innovative strategies to promote and facilitate, on a large scale, improved livelihoods for the poor and vulnerable members of society. India’s quest to become a highly influential nation globally requires that the right framework be developed and put in place,” said Gaurav Goyal, managing director of the RSLDC.
