Founded in 2022, ELESC was formed out of a need to bridge the gap between potential and opportunity in Nagaland’s underserved communities. Since then, we have grown into an enabler of skills, self-reliance, and social enterprise, focussed on inclusive development and enterprise-led transformation in Nagaland.

We envision a future where every young person, woman, and rural entrepreneur in Nagaland
has the tools, resources, and networks to thrive in today’s economy- with knowledge, creativity,and ownership.
