Dropout rates in India are high and it has become a challenge, especially for government schools to retain students. There are multiple reasons for the dropout rate but minimal efforts are taken to curb the same. We at Avashya Foundation are of firm belief that the development of an individual and the progress of a nation depend on education and thus decided to try and create an urge for education amongst the underprivileged youngsters.
We are proud to be a part of.
Roshni, an underprivileged girl studying in the 9th grade of Samarth Girls High School, located in the heart of India’s metropolitan city Mumbai, was also on the verge of quitting education. Coming from the lower economic strata of society, she had become adamant, defensive and rigid due to the household pressure of responsibilities and unacceptable environment at home. With very poor score in the 9th grade, her family had no expectations from her which further lowered her self-esteem and confidence. Our team at Disha, approached her and guided her to change her perspective towards education, progress that will make her self-sufficient. It took our continued efforts to make her vocal and acceptable to change that would open up avenues of perceiving a career and make her independent. Proper guidance finally reaped results as she scored a distinction in her 10th grade this year, which was possible due to the dedicated efforts of our team at Disha.
Reaching over 8000 students every year across 14 schools, Disha has touched upon the lives of many students. Disha Career Seed Program focuses on changing the mind-set and approach of students that forms the basic foundation of developing a career.
While training the students our trainers adapt the ‘Aakash Success Pentagon’ a model designed basis the Neuro-linguistic programming. The model has five touch points – Attitude, Action, Knowledge, Skill & Habit.
Our trainers interact with children, identify their potential and discover their fears and challenges that hinder them from approaching their ambitions.
We act as a catalyst and interact with their parents to help them realize the potential in their child.
Disha’s aim is to provide the students with a first-hand experience to meet and interact with industry experts who guide them in choosing and treading the path of their desired career. We aim to be a life time support unlike a one-time support for the students throughout their career success journey.
