Sashakt Beti Project

The Sashakt Beti Project is a visionary initiative dedicated to the empowerment of girls in the realm of education at the University of Delhi. In a world, where access to quality education can be unequal, this project aims to be a beacon of opportunity for young girls, fostering a nurturing environment for their academic growth. In a world increasingly driven by digital resources, the lack of access to personal computing devices can hinder educational opportunities, especially for young girls. The Sashakt Beti Project seeks to address this disparity by putting the power of technology directly into the hands of female students.
