Project Yojana
Project Yojna was launched in association with Parichay which is an NGO that aims to provide non-formal education to street children and also deals in spices and handicrafts items, which are made by SHGs in the area of Bhajanpura. Presently, Parichay’s marketing is limited only to setting up stalls in institutions and fairs. In associations with them, Vihaan has initiated Project Yojana whereby it will help in devising a comprehensive marketing plan for Parichay products and also help them in corporate liaison by soliciting corporate support for Parichay through CSR initiatives.

The objective of the project is to build a sustainable business model for a vocational-cum-community centre in a community area. The project aims to identify various vocational courses that can be conducted at the centre, drawing an effective business plan to market and sell the products developed at the centre and working out the financial inputs and exit strategy for Pratham.

Students also have to identify the potential markets for the products and the strategy for targeting these markets.
