Educational support to underprivileged children in the state of Karnataka

Youth from India's most underprivileged and marginalized communities fail to access quality education and subsequent workplace opportunities. The weakest link is the transition of such youth from school to university and then to well-meaning livelihoods. In the absence of adequate awareness, financial resources, and weak orientation towards 21st century and market-ready skills, talented youth fail to realize their full potential and are forced to go back to either their traditional family occupations or settle into sub-optimal career choices, thereby reinforcing their marginalization across generations. Further, universities, corporations and other organizations also lose out on top talent as a consequence. 

We work with rural youth from underprivileged and marginalized backgrounds, from the government schooling system across a period of 5-7 years right from class XIth, to their admission into premier universities (various premier universities in India, the UK and Canada), till they get into well-meaning livelihoods. 

Students are able to make better and more informed decisions regarding their career pathways. They develop the necessary skills of comprehension, analytical capabilities (Maths, Data Interpretation, Logical Reasoning), and critical thinking. They have a choice to get into higher institutions of learning. They are aware of different pathways in the Indian and global economy to get into meaningful work opportunities and are able to make informed choices.
