Introduction
Hi, My name is Raunak Madan. I along with my teammates are building a platform "ApniSakhi" that connects scholarship providers with scholarship seekers.
We are a team of 5 students - Suhani, Swati, Kaivalaya, Aadhishree, and me. All our team members are hardworking and enthusiastic.
We are 2nd year students pursuing BCA from Bharti Vidyapeeth Institute Of Management And Research. We learned about Hive while applying for the Build With Delhi Hackathon.
ApniSakhi is an interactive scholarship discovery platform focusing on the niche of female students struggling to fund their education.
Market Insight:
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Growth: ₹1,00,000 crores over the past 5 years.
Scholarships Dispersed: Over ₹2,000+ crores last year.
The industry is quite large and the gap in the market is that, more than 80% of students are not aware of the scholarships.
Key Features of our platform:
Making Education Fun: We focus on engaging visuals and video-based tutorials that make learning fun and make the process of getting scholarships easier.
Personalized Recommendation: We recommend customized scholarships to every student making it easier for her to choose.
Community Support: A community of students facing similar challenges where one can share her experience and ask for help.
Success Stories:- Assistance from women who have made it big in their lives by reading their inspirational stories.
Traditional Method: Filling out 100s of forms for each scholarship is a tedious job.
Smart Way: You have to fill out the least forms as there is only 1 platform which is tracking all the progress of your profile.
Impact on the Society:-
There are thousands of needy and well-deserved students who are not able to afford the fees of colleges and schools and therefore struggle to fund their education. Also in India, there is a lot of stereotypes regarding educating girls.
Scholarships, as it is said, not only cover the costs of pursuing higher education but change the lives of students as well. It can go from reducing the financial burden of the rising costs of a college education to allowing students to find more time and energy to focus on studies rather than part-time work.
ApniSakhi aims to empower girls so that every one of them gets the right to fulfill their dreams.
