In honor of International Day of the Girl, M3M Foundation reaffirms its commitment to empowering girls through education by announcing new scholarships under its flagship “Saakshar” program. Since its inception, the Saakshar program has awarded approximately 1000 scholarships, with 500 of those granted in the current year alone. Through this essential support, M3M Foundation ensures that students are provided with the resources necessary to excel academically, enabling them to overcome financial obstacles and carve their own paths to success.
Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson & Trustee of M3M Foundation, expressed her dedication to this cause, stating “Being a girl should never determine what you can do, where you can go, or who you can become. Education is not only a human right but a powerful tool to eliminate gender inequality and create lasting societal change. With the Saakshar program, we are fostering an environment where girls from disadvantaged communities can thrive, unlocking their potential and paving the way for a brighter future for all.”
This year, the scholarships are being extended to some of the most marginalized girls across India, focusing on those who often face insurmountable barriers to education. The new scholarship offerings will specifically target 100 girls from families involved in manual scavenging in Tamil Nadu, as well as girls from the Paniya tribe, a historically disadvantaged indigenous community in the Nilgiris. Additionally, the Foundation is providing support to destitute children and girls from the Kumbhar community in Varanasi, where access to education is often an unattainable aspiration. By offering these scholarships, M3M Foundation aims to ensure that these girls have the opportunity to pursue their educational goals, enabling them to build brighter futures.
As part of its ongoing legacy of supporting education, M3M Foundation is dedicated to driving systemic change by ensuring that children—particularly girls—are provided with the tools to build a brighter future. These scholarships serve as a testament to the Foundation’s unwavering belief that education is the cornerstone of progress. By investing in the potential of girls, the Foundation is committed to creating a more inclusive and equitable society.
On this International Day of the Girl, M3M Foundation invites girls from similar marginalized backgrounds to apply for the Saakshar scholarship, offering them the chance to pursue their educational aspirations. With the Foundation’s continued support, these girls can achieve their dreams and become agents of change within their communities.
