ICICI Bank takes a holistic approach to the socio-economic development in rural India. We are committed to create and strengthen local ecosystems in order to address diverse challenges faced by the country’s rural population. This commitment led to the launch of ICICI Foundation Rural Livelihood Programme in 2017. Since then, nearly 307,000 beneficiaries in over 2,500 villages have been enabled with sustainable livelihood till March 31, 2021. Of them, 61% are women. Despite the challenges of Covid-19, the programme has trained over 31,800 people - 64% of them are women - in nearly 365 villages in fiscal 2021.

On behalf of ICICI Bank, ICICI Foundation manages two residential centres and 18 satellite centres of ICICI Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs) in Udaipur and Jodhpur districts of Rajasthan. ICICI Foundation has been managing them since March 2011.
