Alumni Support and Engagement Program (ASE)
We believe that staying on the path of education is the surest way for our students to reach their goal of financial independence. The Alumni Support and Engagement Program creates an ecosystem of support for all alumni to fulfill their life goals. We focus on equipping them with the tools and opportunities needed to lead empowered lives. Through the ASE program, we have built a comprehensive ecosystem of support that helps alumni realize their aspirations and life goals. We foster a sense of ownership and responsibility, empowering alumni to thrive as confident and capable individuals.

"Becoming a doctor was far from easy, but my Akanksha teachers stood by me even beyond school. Financial struggles almost ended my dream, but my Didis and Bhaiyyas ensured I continued. After Grade 12, I took a gap year to prepare for NEET-UG but didn’t succeed. Undeterred, I tried again and cleared it, only to face admission hurdles due to a missing domicile certificate. Refusing to give up, I made a third attempt and finally secured a spot in a government medical college in Maharashtra." Dr Hitesh Chaudhary, Akanksha Alumnus
