Education
A single computer. A phone call every few weeks. Sometimes that is all it takes to keep a young life pointed toward its future — and those are exactly the moments we live for.
During lockdown period due to COVID-19, most schools adopted online classes. Disha Mondal, a student of class VI, Young Horizon School did not have a computer at home. Uddyom came forward and arranged a computer for her so that her online classes and future studies can continue unhindered.
Disha Mondal, Student of class VI.
In consonance with our vision, Uddyom started its educational outreach programme in 2017 by identifying children enrolling for higher studies at the undergraduate level who were in need of assistance. Attending classes at the university level from an unprivileged background brings a lot of assorted problems with it, and Uddyom has been alive to them. Each student gets a dedicated member of Uddyom looking after her / his needs, almost in the way a mentor does, calling them up on regular intervals and enquiring about the progress of their careers.
We think of it less as a scholarship and more as an adoption of sorts — because a cheque alone rarely carries a first-generation student through. What does is someone on the other end of the line who genuinely wants to know how the exams went.
Students who might need to approach Uddyom for such a service are required to apply through the Scholarship tab in the home page, where the application form is available.
