More Than an Exam: A Movement to Empower Maharashtra’s Students

A collaborative mission to identify, nurture, and financially support academic excellence across the state.

Our Vision

To create a Maharashtra where every student’s academic potential is recognized and celebrated, and where financial constraints are never a barrier to achieving educational dreams. We envision a future where merit is directly rewarded, fostering a generation of confident, capable, and empowered leaders.

Our Mission

Our mission is to execute a transparent, seamless, and impactful state-level scholarship examination that provides a unified platform for students from grades 5 to 10 to showcase their talent. We are committed to directly disbursing significant financial scholarships to deserving students, thereby investing in their future and motivating a culture of academic excellence and healthy competition.

The Genesis of the Initiative

The Maharashtra Shiksha Sankalp was conceived from a simple yet powerful need: to create a direct bridge between academic talent and the financial support required to nurture it. In a diverse state like Maharashtra, countless talented students lack the resources to fully realize their potential.

This initiative is our answer. It is a purposeful corporate social responsibility (CSR) project designed to make a tangible, measurable difference. By providing a goal-oriented platform and substantial scholarships, we aim to unlock opportunities and empower the next generation of thinkers, innovators, and change-makers.

Our Guiding Principles

• Equity & Access: To provide an equal opportunity for every student, regardless of their background, to compete on a state level.
• Transparency: To operate with utmost integrity in every process, from exam conduction to fund disbursement.
• Excellence: To celebrate and reward academic rigor, dedication, and intellectual curiosity.
• Impact: To ensure that our efforts create a direct and positive effect on the educational journey of students.
