India’s future lies in the talents of its youth. Yet many bright minds in Faridabad and surrounding areas struggle to access higher education due to financial barriers.
Shiksha ka Deep is more than a scholarship — it is our promise to nurture potential, to stand by those who almost gave up, and to contribute to India’s vision of inclusive growth through education.
By focusing on under-resourced students, bridging the school-to-college gap, and especially empowering young women, our mission aligns directly with national priorities: universal higher education access, gender equity, and human capital development.
For students from government & private institutions, rural areas, and slum neighbourhoods, we offer need-based scholarships that cover tuition, exam fees, books, and living expenses.
We target support at the 12th undergrad transition, providing guidance, mentoring, and top-up assistance to reduce dropouts after higher secondary classes.
We prioritise women-first scholarships and outreach, striving to close gender gaps in higher education and increase the representation of girls from marginalised communities.
Each scholarship is tied to a "growth path" - combining mentorship, vocational add-ons, soft-skills workshops, and work-study opportunities to ensure scholars are job-ready.
We foster peer support, alumni networks, and periodic "scholar gatherings" to reduce isolation and build collective momentum.
When a sponsor or corporate partner supports Shiksha ka Deep, they do more than fulfil CSR mandates – they become architects of real, measurable transformation.

After losing my parents during the COVID-19 pandemic, affording even basic school expenses became a struggle. Going to college feels like a distant dream, but I still hope for a chance to continue my studies.”

My father lost his job last year, and my mother works long hours to keep us afloat. I’ve always dreamed of becoming an engineer, but without financial help, I may have to give up my studies after school.”

I’m the first in my family to finiCsh high school, but paying for college seems impossible right now. I want to pursue higher education to support my family and inspire others from my community.”
