Chitnavis Trust

Parth Project

Parth encourages micro-entrepreneurship among economically challenged youth, people with disabilities, and those who’ve lost jobs.

The program offers training, mentoring, technical exposure, digital content, and access to a micro-business incubator.

The first course was held at Chitnavis Centre in June 2019 with 21 beneficiaries, including 12 people with disabilities. Eight participants completed the full course by September 2019. Key challenges observed included lack of clarity on funding, legal compliance, business planning, limited access to capital, and inadequate understanding of market demand.

Parth now focuses on business basics, finance, marketing, legalities, case studies, digital marketing, and preparing simple business plans. It also helps participants explore funding avenues for small enterprises.
