Saraav

Turning Preparations into Performance

Board examinations are a critical milestone in a student's academic journey, often determining their future educational and career prospects. However, many students, especially from under-served backgrounds, struggle with effective exam preparation, resulting in low performance which affects their interest in higher education and leads to dropouts.

To address this challenge, we organise Saraav, a structured mock tests program for X board exam appearing students. It is designed to improve performance by simulating real exam conditions, enhancing readiness, and providing actionable feedback.

The academic session 2024–25 marked the launch of Saraav. In its very first year, we implemented 2 projects of this program with 44 students from marginalized backgrounds as beneficiaries. The schools reported a remarkable improvement not only in student performance but also in their overall school results compared to the previous year.

Encouraged by this strong response, we have set an ambitious target of reaching out to 1000+ children in the session 2025-26.

Sadhan Program

Sadhan

Small Essentials, Big Impact

As the name suggests, Sadhan is a program dedicated to equipping underprivileged children with the right tools to begin their learning journey with confidence and enthusiasm.

Implemented at the very start of the academic session, the program ensures that every child steps into school feeling prepared, motivated, and valued.

Each Sadhan kit includes:

  • A sturdy school bag
  • Essential stationery items
  • Notebooks for daily learning
  • A tiffin box and water bottle
  • Special gifts to bring joy and encouragement

Through Sadhan, we aim to remove small but significant barriers in education, ensuring that no child is held back simply for the lack of basic learning essentials.
