The benefits of engendering all aspects of our working and social lives are substantial. Gendered assumptions are present at all levels; from strategic and organizational planning, to project management, to the everyday interactions of the workplace. The often negative impact of these assumptions is very real, and can undermine the efficiency and success of even the most well-intentioned plans.

Realization of the need to think in gendered terms is beginning to sweep across India ’s organisations. The gender composition of the workforce is rapidly changing in India , organisations must reform themselves correspondingly. As the agendas of human rights and social responsibility are becoming increasingly important; so too is the notion that paying careful attention to gender will improve the working environment substantially and bring financial as well as social dividends.

CSR’s training unit, the Gender Training Institute (GTI), has a decade of experience imparting trainings on gender-related issues to a wide cross-section of society. 

GTI’s services have been enlisted by an array of different organisations, spanning all sectors including; government; law enforcement; agencies of the United Nations; the corporate sector; education; domestic and International NGOs.

A great strength of GTI is its ability to tailor-make programmes in collaboration with the client to assess the specific training needs of the intended participants. Our experienced facilitators can address various issues in the context of gender; from deconstructing and familiarizing people with the basic concept of gender itself, to how gender can be mainstreamed in organizational planning and the broader work environment. GTI has frequently delivered thematic trainings on issues as diverse as Gender and HIV/AIDS, Gender and Disaster Risk Management, and engendering policing.

GTI’s position within CSR enables it to tap into a great body of knowledge and research work on contemporary gender issues, and therefore provide a fast and personalized service for the client. Trainings can be conducted in both English and Hindi, and our facilitators are available to run sessions of any length, from a couple of hours to five days. Our trainers are also available on a consultancy basis, to provide a gendered perspective on the content of an in-house training for example.
