MK Foundation is a pioneering residential skill development organization that was started by Shri Dr. Mahesh K Shingri in 17th Oct 2010. It was born out of the pressing need for skilled human resources to power the growth of the 1000+ social impact organizations the Foundation was working with. Rural youth, with education ranging from primary school to graduates, were equipped with essential hands-on skill sets currently in demand in the local economy. They also cultivated exemplary personality traits like discipline, hard-work, sincerity, resourcefulness and most importantly, a problem-solving mindset, which enabled them to secure gainful employment in local enterprises with significantly higher salaries compared to their peers.
Today, MK Foundation has grown to become recognized as India's leading Computer Education, skill development, organization, which not only teaches youth necessary skills for employment but makes them learners for life. Our alumni have soared to great heights as entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, bringing glory to their employers and more importantly, to their families and communities who had given up hope. DSians are the torchbearers of a new India - they shatter glass ceilings, break barriers of class, caste and region and look at every problem as an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
What sets MK Foundation apart from other vocational courses is that we strive to give youth not just a job but also the personality of a winner. Creative training methods mold youth into innovative problem-solvers with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Execution excellence, proficiency in communication, fearless commitment to ethics, ownership of tasks and the passion to contribute meaningfully to society, are some values ingrained in every MK fellow.
Youth train in real-world scenarios to get hands-on experience in different aspects of their chosen fields. With multiple skill development programs covering a broad range of sectors, the Trust strengthens the local communities' overall human resource capacity, fueling socio-economic growth in 2nd and 3rd tier cities.
