A study on ‘Enhancing Women Leadership in India Inc’ conducted by Fortune India and S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research(SPJIMR) shed light on the persistent gender imbalance in leadership roles in Indian industries.

Getting set for Academic year 24-25 |
|
|
The Abhyudaya team has started preparations for the forthcoming 2024-25 school year,
The preparations involve a multi-part process which includes the following activities:
* Selecting “Pre-Sitaras” for transitioning to “Sitaras” : For this transition, our team conducted and completed 47 video call interviews and home visits to pick from the 110 Pre-Sitaras.. Our up and close personal involvement ensured that the selected families would be committed to the program apart from meeting the underprivileged criteria.
* Conducting home visits to the current Class 10 Sitara homes. These 39 home visits were a follow-up to the initial home visit done 4 years ago.
* Entrance tests and interviews for the new Pre-Sitaras:
* 180 students (92 boys and 88 girls) from 41 schools were given a psychometric assessment test - the Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) test which is a culture-fair, non-verbal test of intelligence.
* Of the 180 students, 148 students (76 boys and 72 girls) made it to the interview round.
However, some 30 schools could not be represented as they were closed for survey work during the nomination process.
We will be reaching out to these schools.
This year, Alumni Sitaras assisted with registrations, logistics, and interviews for the new year student selections, completing a gratifying cycle of involvement in the school.
