AVTAR Human Capital Trust (AHCT) is a not for-profit public charitable organization, working in the field of economic empowerment of women. Headquartered in Chennai, AHCT has been addressing gender equality, poverty eradication and inclusive economic growth for women across the State of Tamil Nadu & Pondicherry over the past eight years.

With a strong belief that economic independence is key to women's empowerment and that women can make and continue to make enormous contributions to economies, whether in businesses, on farms, as entrepreneurs or employees, or by doing unpaid care work at home, we at AVTAR group are keen on facilitating women's social inclusion and economic empowerment in the economically backward strata of society too.

Our life skills enhancement programs, employability workshops, Prevention of Sexual Harassment training and education support, have enabled many women (across lower, middle and upper middle strata of society) secure decent jobs to become economically independent & self-reliant, to think more progressively and make well informed decisions in life, to uphold positive self esteem and participate confidently & contribute in areas like health, education, rights, political & social activities.
Social responsibility continues to be an intrinsic part of AVTAR family, and today, with project Puthri we endeavour to reach out to 10,000 underprivileged girl children in the age group of 13 to 18 years studying in government schools across India, making them career intentional every year.
