Current & Past Projects
Discover our journey through both ongoing initiatives and completed projects, demonstrating our skills, innovation, and proven results.
Livestock-Based Livelihoods project (LBL)
This initiative empowers rural youth and marginalized individuals to become independent livestock entrepreneurs by strengthening Jammu & Kashmir's traditional sheep-rearing sector. Through a two-tier model, we provide micro-finance loans to purchase sheep and offer hands-on apprenticeship training with experienced farmers. By blending traditional pastoral knowledge with modern livestock management, this project bridges the gap between local mutton demand and supply, generating sustainable rural employment and boosting the local economy.
Earning While Learning project (EWLP)
Preparing Youth for the AI-Driven Future
The modern world is defined by VUCA realities — Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity.
Entire industries that once dominated global markets—such as Kodak and Nokia—collapsed because they failed to anticipate technological disruption.
Yet many schools continue to operate on an industrial-era “factory model” of education, where students memorize content designed for jobs that may disappear tomorrow.
2. The Earning While Learning Program of Prof. Bashir Foundation aims to prepare young learners in Jammu & Kashmir for a radically changing world.
