There is a great unmet need for student enrolment and transition into Higher Education Institutions, specifically those with socio-economically backward backgrounds.
National data suggests that even though ~ 1.5 CR students complete secondary education, only 80 Lakhs students enter into Higher/tertiary education, thereby resulting in large dropout rates after class 12. This also leads to a great employability challenge due to information, skill and funding gap.
Additionally, while there exist multi-ministerial scholarship programmes to support meritorious but financially disadvantaged students, only 1 CR out of ~ 7 CR students receive scholarships, thus there is a pressing need to augment financial and mentorship support for meritorious students lacking means to complete their Higher Education.
