ANNUAL REPORT

MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

Dear Colleagues & Stakeholders,

As we approach the year 2021, we reflect back and see a year of great

significance has passed. The year, as we know was difficult for all of us

due to COVID 19 pandemic, still we expanded our horizon from skill

development to other interventions that will create deeper and positive

impact to the society. Our strategy at Ultimate Energy is not just

welfare engagement but a program to help people attain sustainable

economic growth by strengthening the existing potential.

In the rural as well as urban economy, skill and Capacity buildings plays an important role

and this sector has become very attractive for the youth. There is increase in rural youth

migrating to cities for better livelihood opportunities. There is a strong need of transforming

the rural economy into viable business model by linking the youth to organized sector. This

year Ultimate has promoted new venture, “Suryamitra” We understand the importance of

environmentalism and therefore with our undertakings we intend to promote entrepreneurship

in the field of environment.

Year 2020-21 has also focused a lot on Community Engagement. It helps us to understand the

needs and aspirations of people. It supports us to segment the people into like-minded groups

or entrepreneurs and builds a relationship of trust and it helps in creating ownership and stake

of the community in whatever intervention is required.

We all are aware that one quarter of rural and tribal India's population lives below poverty

line, population of such magnitude cannot depend on migration to cities for better standard of

living. Labor absorption in urban economy has been very slow. Consequently, rural and

urban population has to find a solution to improve their quality of life by transforming the

current economy towards a self-sufficient and sustainable economy. This is where Ultimate

Energy comes in, and we want to empower every community to transform their lives for

better future. We are thankful to all our partners to share our mammoth responsibility and we

are committed to continuously strive to work for the betterment of rural communities and

their future.

Indian economy is undergoing structural transformation from agriculture economy to

manufacturing and services. A primary reason that is evident has been substantial decline in

the number of people engaged in agriculture especially rural youth. Migration of rural youth

is driven by the fact that there is no work in the lean agricultural seasons and to strive for

better livelihood opportunities. According to the Planning Commission, eighty percent of

India's farmers are small and marginal, cultivating only less than 2.5 acres of land. Rural

people who migrate to urban areas have no vocational skill or partial skills. Our organization

has been working with the communities from last 10 years. It is evident from our grass-root

experience the importance of vocational and entrepreneurial skills to empower the society. In

2012, National Skill Development Corporation also provided their support in form of soft

loan to train 0.75 million rural people in sectors like Construction, Textiles, Agriculture,

Banking and Finance services, Retail, IT &ITES and many others. Our core effort is to create

jobs locally and to induce entrepreneurship spirit in the community. To carry this forward and

to create an impact in Pan India, Ultimate implements Skill Development initiatives. It is

affiliated with various Sector Skill Councils.
