Sajhe Sapne
When 12th-pass rural women finish school, career options narrow to traditional vocations. Sajhe Sapne opens up an entirely different path. Through year-long Mini-MBA programmes at district Sapna Centres, young women train for management roles in non-traditional fields. They learn entrepreneurial skills, gain technical expertise, and launch careers that challenge the "silai-kadai-bunai" stereotype. The result? Sapnewaalis who shift workplace norms and household expectations alike. By 2030, the organisation aims to ensure 20% of young village women in Madhya Pradesh are steadily learning and earning for at least a year after school.
