Eklavya India Foundation - Building career and leadership among marginalized communities through higher education.
by TAP CHARITY INC
As part of the "Education" pillar of TAP Charity's H.E.L.P. manifesto (Health, Education, Livelihood, Psychosocial), we support Eklavya India Foundations mission for "building career and leadership among marginalized communities through higher education".
The Eklavya India Foundation is a non-profit organisation based in India, founded in May 2017. The foundation works with first-generation college students from historically marginalised groups, such as Adivasi, Dalit, nomadic tribes, and OBC's to help them access higher education, break the cycle of poverty, and become role models in their communities.
Eklavya serves as a support system, providing mentorship, training, and guidance to first-generation learners from historically underrepresented communities of Maharashtra.
This empowers them to pursue education at premier Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) while fostering grassroots leadership in academia, policy, law, media, and development. The foundation trains students for undergraduate and postgraduate educational opportunities and conducts career-building training programs for graduates.
