6. CARE-VAN's commitmentsCARE-VAN's commitments
In-a-VAN…..To develop gainful employable quality skills, among the socio-
economic backward Class of students, living in Mumbai’s slums &
impoverished conditions, whose schools do not provide such facilities, by
making skill-development resources available within their convenient
neighborhood so that access is easy for them in terms of time, cost, energy
saving.
Initial Program is to develop Basic Computer skills (as their current writing
skills may be redundant in the future of Corporate world) and Basic
Communication Skills (as they have multi-lingual orientation which needs
proper channeling to get equipped as a life-skill for both personal &
professional use) by FREE Training of these employable skills for
respectability.

7. PREMISE v/s VANPREMISE v/s VAN
Why not a Premise?Why not a Premise?
For a room to accommodate 17
persons the cost of owning a
premise will be minimum Rs 50
lakhs or renting will be costly @
Rs 30,000 per month. Also, it will
be inconvenient for the students
in terms of cost, time & energy
to & fro the fixed location, this
could be discouraging for them
to attend.
Why a Van?Why a Van?
The cost of a 17-seater Van is Rs
12 lakhs and can be mobile to
move at various locations
depending upon the slums
indentified. Hence will be easily
accessible to the students as the
Van will be stationed in the
respective neighborhood.
