Higher education remains largely inaccessible to India’s underserved communities - Dalits and Adivasis, and other marginalized groups. Data from the NSSO 2014enrolment in college education for Dalits is 20%, and for dominant castes, it is 39.5%
Eklavya India Foundation works with first-generation learners from marginalized communities like- Dalit, Adivasi, and nomadic tribes to facilitate their successful career transition through accessing world-class higher education, enabling them to break the poverty cycle and become community role models.
Our proven strategy involves awareness, exposure, mentoring, and coaching, along with engaging relatable role models.
Eklavya has trained 2000+ students, with 1200+ gaining admission into 80+ top-tier colleges/universities, and fellowships in India and abroad. Notably, 400+ of Eklavya alumni, secured white-collar jobs, elevating their families’ income tenfold. Eklavya’s mission is to impact 20000 first-generation students and their families by 2030.

Their presence is even negligible in premier universities as out of 10top universities in India, students from Dait and tribal groups are under represented in 7 universities (a recent survey by the Department of Higher Education).
In the last five years, our intervention enabled over 1200 first-generation students to attend 80+ top tier global universities and development fellowship programs.
