Pratibha Project

Empowering the poor for Higher education

Paving the way for a nation's glorious future,
by strengthening the backbones of it's schooling infrastructure!

Of the 200 million children in the age group 6-14, it is estimated that 59 million are out of school. Of these 35 million are girls. The dropouts are majority due to the socio-economic back-ground of the families. To meet their family expenses they are forcibly stopping their studies after 10th class or Intermediate. There are many intelligent students dropping out from higher studies, because of their family's vocation or by becoming agriculture laborers, workers etc. Some cases, though the student secure very good ranks in the competitive exams and willing to go for professional studies , the lack of financial support from the family force them to compromise in choosing the professional studies like Engineering, Medicine etc.

Spandana's objective in Pratibha project is to support poor students orally and financially to encourage for higher studies. This will help us to develop an educated society by which we can contribute to the growth of our motherland.

In this program, Spandana will be involving in the following activities:

-Helping poor students for their professional studies

-Sponsoring very poor students from the rural area for their secondary and higher secondary education

-Merit awards for encouraging students

-Events and seminars to create awareness on various career opportunities and self-employment opportunities.
