About Prerana

Every deserving student shall have access to Education, Skill Development and Employment
MISSION
Education-to-Employment (e2e) of 10,000 deserving students
by 2030
At PRERANA we believe that education is the most powerful means of fighting poverty. To this end, we provide Financial-Aid to meritorious students from underprivileged backgrounds, from PUC 1st Year (11th grade) up to college or professional degree. Knowing that the lives of students from underprivileged backgrounds are beset with pressures, we stay engaged with them, provide counseling to boost their morale and self-esteem and ensure they don't drop out.
