About Krishnashray Gurukul SEDI
Located in Jatipura, Govardhan Tehsil, Mathura, Krishnashray Gurukul SEDI began as a Silai Sewing School in partnership with USHA. It had a clear mission: to empower women and children through vocational learning. What started as a small community initiative has grown into a training hub that now serves beneficiaries across a 60 km radius.
To expand career opportunities for local youth, the Gurukul collaborated with the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICA) to introduce accounting and Tally programs. These courses have enabled young learners to acquire practical skills and transition into the workforce with confidence.
A significant milestone came in June 2019 when Krishnashray Gurukul partnered with the Ambuja Cement Foundation (ACF). With this, it established a structured, professionally run skill development ecosystem. With over three decades of experience, ACF operates 33 skill training institutes across India and has trained more than 40,000 candidates in multiple trades. Of these, 75–80% have secured meaningful employment. This expertise has helped Krishnashray Gurukul strengthen its training quality, expand its course offerings, and build sustainable livelihood pathways.
