In India’s fast-evolving economy, skills matter more than degrees. Yet, millions of housewives, students, and retired professionals remain untapped resources. At Saroma Foundation, we believe that upskilling them is not only transformative for individuals — it’s a game-changer for rural India. 

From food forests to agro-tourism, rural development needs digital bridges — and these hidden heroes can build them. 

👩‍🍳 Housewives: From Home Experts to Rural Entrepreneurs 

Housewives manage homes, budgets, and daily crises — often better than many professionals. With basic training in: 

🌿 Wellness & natural product creation 

📱 Digital marketing & content creation 

🛍️ Branding & e-commerce 
 

They transform into: 

• Wellness trainers & facilitators for SHGs 

• Micro-entrepreneurs running stalls, workshops, and rural events 

• Brand ambassadors for women-made rural products 
   

Upskilled homemakers connect rural SHGs to cities — generating income, confidence, and community impact. 

🎓 Students: Tech-Savvy, Purpose-Driven Change-Makers 

Today’s youth are digital natives — but lack real-world application and purpose. Through Saroma’s training in: 

📲 Social media & automation tools 

🌾 Agro-tourism event coordination 

🧴 Herbal & organic product making 
 

They become: 

• Village event organizers 

• Online sales agents for farmers and SHGs 

• Ambassadors of sustainable rural living 
   

Students not only earn — they lead India’s rural innovation wave. 

👴 Retired Professionals: Wisdom That Works Again 

Retirees carry unmatched expertise. With a gentle nudge in: 

📊 E-commerce & WhatsApp Business 
🧠 SHG mentorship & rural entrepreneurship 
🧑‍🏫 Community training & facilitation 
 They evolve into: 

• Mentors and coaches for SHGs & youth 

• Buyers and promoters of local rural goods 

• Leaders of lifelong learning with purpose 
   

Retirement doesn’t have to mean withdrawal — it can mean rural revival. 

🌾 The Rural Ripple Effect: How Upskilling Transforms India 

Every skilled person helps rural India thrive. When trained under Saroma’s Learn. Earn. Support. program, they: 

 ✅ Empower rural women through online product sales 
✅ Create jobs in eco-tourism, food forests & SHG supply chains 
✅ Promote organic practices and local products 
✅ Reduce migration by making villages growth hubs 

One learner can empower 100 lives. That’s the Saroma multiplier. 

📈 Real Stories. Real Change. 

At Saroma, we’ve seen it firsthand: 

🌿 A homemaker runs her own herbal skincare line from home 
👨‍🏫 A retired engineer teaches AI tools to SHGs 
🎪 A student hosts an eco-tourism fair in a small village 
📱 A housewife helps digitize her farmer husband’s produce sales 

The message is clear: Upskilling uplifts — the individual and the ecosystem.
