🚀 Big news for students in Haryana! For this year's Dual System Training (DST) program, we have onboarded 15 industries in partnership with Government ITIs to offer high-quality learning and hands-on work experience. This collaboration aims to benefit aspiring professionals by focusing on practical skills and real-world exposure. The students can train in over 17 trade units, including Motor Mechanic, Fashion Design, and Sewing Technology. Additionally, we have signed MoUs for two new trades, Painter and Draftsman, allowing students to gain painting skills and master AutoCAD for drafting. 🏭 On-the-Job Training (OJT) with leading industries like Sainsons Paper, KBS Motos, CLS Exports, and more, will help students build practical skills while gaining real-world experience in their chosen trades. 📍 Training will be conducted in various locations, including remote areas like Narwana and Pehowa, offering students a unique experience that will enhance their career credentials. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue supporting Haryana’s youth toward rewarding careers of their choice. 🙌 Prachi Jain Windlass Krishnan Narayanaswamy Christopher Turillo Byomkesh Mishra Saurabh Rai Manan Majithia Jasdeep Singh #MedhaOrg #TheForceIsStrong #Students #Onboarded #Training #Industries #Career #Haryana

🌱 Small actions, Big changes! Over 500 students from Agra, Jhansi, Lucknow, and Gorakhpur participated in Bridge4Change’s “Tiny Actions, Gigantic Ripples” event, organized in partnership with Medha and held across all four cities recently. The event focused on how small changes in everyday habits can significantly reduce carbon emissions. 🌍 🙌 Students learned that by making simple adjustments—like skipping just one cup of coffee a week—they can save 12,000 liters of water and reduce their carbon footprint by 256 kg annually. That’s equivalent to planting 12 trees 🌳 per person! This workshop served as an exposure to different career opportunities in sustainability and environmental efforts, encouraging students to explore pathways in green technology, environmental management, renewable energy, and more. ✨ It’s great to see such commitment from these students! A big thank you to Ashish Agrawal of Bridge4Change for helping us make this event possible. Let’s keep making conscious choices for a greener future together. 🌍 👉 Share your sustainable practices and inspire others to join in the fun of making a positive impact!

On September 28th, we celebrated 10 years of Medha Career Centre at DDUGU—a milestone that reflects the dedication and hard work of our students in building the careers of their choice. The event was enriched by the presence of Amarjeet Sinha (former IAS Officer & ex-Advisor to the PMO), Prof. Poonam Tandon (VC of DDUGU), and Ashok Kumar (Ex-VC of DDUGU), whose support has been invaluable. However, the day truly belonged to our students. They hosted interactive stalls and shared their Medha journeys with guests—showcasing their experiences with CAB, TAB, and the Medhavi Community. While we celebrate 10 successful years, Safarnama is also a reminder of the exciting journey ahead. As Byomkesh Mishra, our Co-Founder, emphasized, “Hum bilkul under the radar kaam karenge. Hum aur hamara pact hamare vidhyartiyo ke saath hoga,.” With the right support, these young professionals will continue to shape the world around them. Here’s to many more years of meaningful change and success!

It all started with just a handful of students, but over the past decade, 2,600+ students in Gorakhpur have stepped forward to shape their futures. These students have participated in our Career Advancement Bootcamp (CAB) & Technical Advancement Bootcamp (TAB) programs to acquire practical skills and prepare for rewarding career pathways. As more students engaged in the programs, their readiness for the job market attracted various organizations. From 3 hiring partners in 2016 to a robust network of more than 270 organizations across 25 sectors currently, students now have access to meaningful placement opportunities. Here’s something we didn’t expect: 81% of our program certificates have been earned by female students, while 19% have been earned by male students. The enthusiasm shown by female students in Gorakhpur has been remarkable as they take advantage of opportunities and make significant strides in their careers. Our alumni are seeing positive outcomes in their professional journeys and are earning higher salaries compared to their peers. With determination and the right support, students in Gorakhpur are working towards futures they can feel good about. Stay tuned for more updates as we celebrate our 10 years in DDU Gorakhpur with the event Safarnama!

In December 2015, Medha began its journey in Gorakhpur, but it was the students who truly brought this journey to life. Over the past ten years, thousands of students have taken charge of their futures, using Medha’s support to navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and carve out rewarding career pathways. Safarnama is a celebration of these students—their stories, their achievements, and the incredible paths they’ve paved. With more than 2,000 university students finding direction and building meaningful careers, Medha has been proud to stand alongside them, offering guidance while they shaped their own success. Every student’s journey has been unique, and together, they’ve created a community of growth, learning, and progress. As we celebrate this milestone, we also reflect on how Medha has evolved over the past decade, with Deen Dayal Upadhyay University and Gorakhpur playing a significant role in that journey. The insights and experiences of the local community have influenced our approach and strengthened our commitment to supporting young people. Together, we have adapted, learned, and achieved, laying the groundwork for even more impactful stories in the years to come. This event is a moment to reflect on these shared accomplishments and to look forward to many more success stories in the years to come. Join us as we celebrate the students who continue to inspire us and lead the way toward brighter futures!

Students from Banda University and Bundelkhand University gained fresh perspectives on sustainability through the SAGE Junior Ambassadors program, organized in collaboration with the echo network and VigyanShaala International. For many of these students, the journey included exciting firsts—some even took their first-ever flight to reach Bangalore! ✈ In this five-day event, students engaged in hands-on workshops and interactive sessions on topics like one health, regenerative agriculture, and more. Unlike traditional lessons, these workshops offered practical, real-world applications and motivated students to brainstorm solutions for tackling local environmental issues and promoting sustainable farming. 👩🌾 Now, back in their communities with newfound knowledge and purpose, these students are developing projects aimed at addressing environmental challenges. Their initiatives are focused on sustainable practices leading towards a greener future. 🌿 Want to see how their journey unfolds?

We value EMpower’s continued support and their genuine understanding of our challenges. It’s been a rewarding partnership, and we’re excited to build on this positive momentum together.
