Svatantra Microfin Grants Scholarships to 100 Girl Students

In July 2019, Svatantra launched Udaan Scholarship programme with the intention of providing scholarships and career guidance to rural Indian girl students. We selected 96 girl students from across 7 states, and with the aid of a career counselling specialist, we organised a tailored career exploration programme for them and their parents. An extensive online examination was used to conduct the counselling, and this was followed by an in-person interview. For a year, these female students were awarded a monthly scholarship.

The company intended to make a longterm difference in students' lives through Udaan Scholarship. In addition to providing students with financial support, scholarships will also help them in the long run by providing career counselling. The goal of career counselling is to make sure that students adopt the road that will lead them to their ideal career.
