The poor and underprivileged youth of the whole country, who stay in villages and small towns, cannot afford to study in good schools and colleges in the state or outside.

Hence, they suffer from the lack of good subject knowledge, English Communication, personality development and soft skills, knowledge about good career options, and access to good recruitment coaching etc.
Because of these serious deficiencies, they are not able to compete with other well to do youth and are left behind.

2. Project Strategy :

To overcome the above-mentioned handicaps of the poor youth, we will be offering the following ONLINE Courses Under Project Udaan 2.0 at almost zero cost :

A survey Was conducted in 10 States: UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Tamilnadu and Karnataka in which 1092 Youth were surveyed.
In the survey, the poor young boys and girls mentioned repeatedly that they suffer from a lack of good knowledge of course subjects ,English Communication, personality development and soft skills, knowledge about good career options, and most importantly, access to good recruitment coaching etc. Therefore, we thought to start such courses.

4. Why Flexi Time and Flexi Location?

During the survey, Students had suggested flexi-time and Flexi location mode, as they also work for earning their livelihood for the family so they cannot attend live classes at a fixed time on working days by leaving their work.
Under this flexible system, they can study any time sitting anywhere.

5. Process Implementation:

• We will be implementing this project in collaboration with Govt. of India Agency, The CSC e-governance Services Ltd, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Govt. Of India.
• For the sake of ensuring Transparency, Once the student joins a course, he/she would be tagged to a mentor and also to the donor who has sponsored his study. The details of student’s name, father’s name, full address, Aadhar card no and mobile no would be shared with the donor.
• There will be a periodic evaluation (weekly/fortnightly) to assess the progress of the students.
• There will also be a panel of mentors. Five students will be tagged to each mentor. The mentor will talk to his/her mentees once every week to motivate the student as well as guide him/her forward in light of the weekly evaluation report.
• Courses are in flexi time & flexi location mode.
• For ensuring proper End Use of the donor’s money ,the periodic evaluation report of each student will be shared regularly with the concerned donor and the mentor.
• We will also be having weekly online live classes every Sunday so that students can clear their doubts with the teacher.
• Periodic Expenditure reports about the use of donor funds will also be shared with the donors.
• If any student is not attending classes regularly, message would go to the Common Service Centre of his / her village and Common Service Centre Academy of the concerned Block/ Tehsil, so that they will get in touch with the student concerned and do the needful to bring him back to the course.

6. Reach of the Programme:

As mentioned above, we are in Collaboration with the CSC e-governance Services Ltd, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Govt. Of India, to reach the deserving youth in every remote village and small town of the country .They have six lakhs Common Service Centres ( CSCs) in Six lakhs villages and fifty thousand Common Service Centre Academies at the block / tehsil level all over India .These centres and academies will work on our behalf to identify deserving poor young boys and girls, motivate them, get them registered on our portal for the courses, monitor the progress of the students, make their centres/ academies facilities available for week end live courses etc. They will also do publicity of our project Udaan 2.0 in their areas to spread our mission to reach every underprivileged youth in the remotest areas of the country. These centres will also ensure that no student of their village drops out after registering for the courses.

7. Monitoring and reporting mechanism

A. It will be done on daily basis by online dashboard. As soon as a student registers for the course, the details (name, father’s name, address, mob. No. etc) will be shared with the donors on a weekly basis.
