CAREER COUNSELLING

CAMPAIGN
Abhyuday IIT Bombay
39% students of India drop out of schools before completing elementary
education

Most of them are never able to escape the vicious cycle of poverty and
lack of education

Many of those willing to help do not get a platform to reach out to the
ones in need
But

What if they get retained in the schools, and move on to complete their
education?

What if they resist the forces to quit studies, instead carry on to reach
greater academic success?

What if they get the guidance which helps them pursue their dream ?

WHY TOLL FREE HELPLINE NUMBER ?

The helpline is specifically for economically backward students who lack access to resources
and information.

To reach out to these students and to make the service accessible and affordable for them,
toll free is hence the necessary pre requisite.

Making the number toll free would thus fuel the campaign and would help us creating an impact
in lives of numerous students by assisting them in their quest towards further education.

This better educated young population would in turn lead to a better society with higher
economic growth of nation as a whole
