The Foundation
An institution built on a public charter, not private gain.
CATRF is incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 and licensed under Section 8 as a non-profit company. Its objects focus on promoting, establishing and managing institutions for skill development, vocational training, entrepreneurship and capacity building — work directed at youth, women, the unemployed and communities the formal economy reaches last.
Founded by Ajay Kumar Arya and Meena Gyadi, the Foundation pairs practical education with applied research, digital learning and community development, and collaborates with government, academic and civil institutions to deliver it at scale.
“The income and property of the company shall be applied solely for the promotion of its objects.”
What we do

How we deliver
Three ways the charter becomes work on the ground.
Employment & Entrepreneurship
Placement drives, job fairs and apprenticeships connect learners to work, while incubation and mentoring help young founders and women entrepreneurs begin.
CSR & Community Development
We carry out government-funded schemes and CSR projects across education, health, environment and livelihoods for rural and underprivileged communities.
