SAKSHAM aims to help students identify their talents and choose the right educational path by providing counseling, career guidance, and financial assistance. It offers various programs like UNNATI conditioning camps, DRISHTI aptitude tests, and PRASHAST microfinancing to empower students and address issues such as lack of information, finances, and support that cause high dropout rates in India. SAKSHAM's model involves establishing hub centers that will reach out to thousands of students in surrounding areas through its programs and help them continue their education.
