Saksham Project
Empowering Youth through Autonomy and Innovation
The Saksham Project is a unique initiative aimed at empowering youth from low-income communities by giving them complete autonomy over their learning paths. By providing financial resources, mentorship through Saksham Buddies, and fostering a network of peer support, Saksham enables youth to explore their passions—whether it’s in entrepreneurship, the arts, or beyond. This project cultivates a Jugaadu mindset, encouraging creativity, risk-taking, and resilience. With the freedom to learn and fail, participants build confidence, problem-solving skills, and leadership qualities, preparing them to thrive in today’s dynamic world.
In India’s current education system, youth—especially from low-income communities—are confined to a rigid, rote-based structure that stifles creativity and limits opportunities for personal growth. Many young people aspire to explore diverse fields like trading, dance, or entrepreneurship but are held back by financial barriers and a lack of mentorship. Additionally, even in programs designed to empower them, youth often find themselves in the front seat but not truly in control of their learning journey.
The Saksham Project seeks to address these challenges by offering youth complete autonomy over their learning paths. With financial resources, guidance from Saksham Buddies (mentors), and the freedom to take risks, participants can pursue their passions in areas that resonate with them. The project’s aim is to foster a Jugaadu mindset—building resilience, problem-solving skills, and leadership qualities that prepare youth to thrive in the 21st century.
By providing a supportive ecosystem and financial backing, Saksham enables youth to not only learn but also embrace failure as part of the process. The project nurtures a community of innovators and risk-takers who will continue supporting each other even after the program, creating a sustainable network for lifelong growth and success.
