A Vision Aligned with the Nation’s Goal

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.

Tackling the Barriers. Lighting the Path.

Bridge Financial Barriers

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.

Facilitate School-to-College Transitions

We target support at the 12th undergrad transition, providing guidance, mentoring, and top-up assistance to reduce dropouts after higher secondary classes.

Encourage Female Participation

We prioritise women-first scholarships and outreach, striving to close gender gaps in higher education and increase the representation of girls from marginalised communities.

Strengthen Employability

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.

Build Community & Belonging

We foster peer support, alumni networks, and periodic "scholar gatherings" to reduce isolation and build collective momentum.
