The 'Aadhar' we plan to render to our trainees

- by Nikhil Bagga

Aadhaar project is the latest initiative by the Indian government to create a Unique Identification(UID) for every citizen of the country and digitize all citizens’ database at a single point. It will act as a one stop proof that will serve all purposes; thus reducing the redundancy of obtaining different types of ID proofs. It will ensure that all Indians have individual identities that cannot be faked by others. The Government of India feels that the system will also help in curbing corruption involved in its various rural programmes like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Rural Health Mission, Bharat Nirman, National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme etc.

We, at Pratham Institute are developing a model through which each student undergoing training at all our vocational training centres will be helped by our centre staff to get an Aadhar card.

An insight into our 'Learn Now Pay Later' model

- by Jagruti Raval

We have introduced ‘Learn Now Pay Later’ scheme for all our five hospitality centers - Aurangabad, Dhamtari, Satara, Udaipur, Vijaywada. This scheme was started for students who are not able to pay our course fees by themselves. Using this scheme they can now pay their fees after they are placed with properties (our placement partners), thus easing them of the financial obligation at the beginning of the course.
