shakti's vocational training institutes

Shakti Udaan is an innovative world of opportunities for the under-privileged girls where they acquire free training of various vocational courses. These courses are systematically designed by expert faculty members to equip these girls with the sought-after creative skills which are then honed so as to enable them with a dignified livelihood. They learn. They excel. They innovate! All of this is to make them self-reliant and independent in the midst of their adverse circumstances, so that they live with a purpose, confidence and freedom.

Endowing wings of freedom

Under the aegis of Shakti, girls receive scholarships to study up to Class 12. Each Shakti girl is motivated to study hard, become monetarily self-reliant and live with dignity. She pledges that she will never opt for foeticide, nor allow or encourage others to do so. And that once financially able, she will support another needy girl’s education.
