Project Challenges

In India, while 12% of the urban population pursues higher education only 2% of the rural population can afford to pursue the same. Major reasons for dropping out are affordability of the costs for the degree and lack of better work opportunities after the degree.

Students from low income groups aren’t comfortable with english, while a majority of higher education material is available only in english, hence self-learning isn’t possible.

Annual fees of colleges range from 1-4lacs make it ery difficult for lesser priviledged kids to pursure higher studies.

There are very few seats in affordable colleges due to which aspiring students are unable to fulfill their dreams.

 

Results & Outcome

We are happy to connect our young boys from Kekadiya tribal village to gain valuable IT education and livelihood skills at NavGurukul in Delhi.

We strive to work on bridging the gap in skills and education between rural and urban areas. Such big-city experiences and opportunities are valuable for our Rural youth.

Rural students were given an opportunity to pursure degee course with ease and were trained enough to get good jobs for themselves.
