Program Vasishtha
A mentorship initiative connecting industry professionals with underprivileged youth — bridging the gap between academic learning and professional readiness.
The Problem
Why this program exists
Despite higher education, many underprivileged youth face limited job prospects due to a lack of skills, guidance, and industry exposure. This skills gap leaves talented individuals burdened with unmet potential — not just in their own lives, but within their families and communities.
“What if experienced professionals could step in and guide these young minds toward brighter futures?”
Program Vasishtha connects Nirmaan's IT and IT-enabled skill centre learners with industry professionals eager to share their expertise.
