Ambuja Foundation, in collaboration with Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation, has launched a Security Guard Skill Academy in Chirawa, Rajasthan. It builds on a guard training program that has run at the Skill & Entrepreneurship Development Institute (SEDI) in Chirawa since 2021. That program has trained more than 600 young men and women, with a reported placement rate of 94%.
Where the academy is and who it will train
The academy is located near Chirawa Railway Station in Jhunjhunu district. It will provide vocational training to youth from Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jammu & Kashmir, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh. The initiative also draws on Chirawa’s long association with military service.
What the academy will teach
Training will cover unarmed security services. The academy also plans to introduce a Fire and Safety course, to prepare candidates for a wider range of jobs. Its curriculum is expanded and delivered by experienced trainers, with a focus on certified vocational training and on increasing opportunities for women.
Placement record so far
Since 2021, the guard training program at SEDI Chirawa has trained more than 600 young men and women, and its reported placement rate is 94%. The program has worked with more than 20 placement partners across Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat and Telangana.
Where trained candidates can work
Trained candidates can pursue jobs in sectors including civil aviation, corporates, industries, hospitals, educational institutions and hospitality.
Other courses at SEDI Chirawa
Besides guard training, SEDI Chirawa offers courses in Business Correspondence, Beauty & Wellness, Domestic Data Entry, Guest Service Associate and Field Technician.
Why the academy
The partners describe the academy as a response to workforce readiness needs and sector-specific skill shortages, and to growing demand for professionally trained unarmed security guards across sectors. It is intended to widen access to job-oriented training and employment for rural youth across several states, building on the two organisations’ existing skilling and placement work
