How SARTHAK has supported education for students from economically disadvantaged sectors
Life Skills are a behaviour change or behaviour development approach designed to address balance of three areas:
• Knowledge • Attitude • Skills.
Life skills training/ education takes into account psychosocial competencies and interpersonal skills that help students to make
right decisions, solve problems, think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, build healthy relationships, empathize with
others, and cope with managing their lives in a healthy and productive manner. (WHO) defines Life skills as the abilities for adaptive

That's why Sarthak has included “Life Skill training as an essential ingredient in this mentoring process.
Mentoring is the unconditional acceptance of a student whilst guiding them on a journey of growth and development. A mentor
aims to help his mentee develop goals and guide him in the path to achieving them. A mentor is genuinely invested in his
mentees and devotes his time and energy in assisting them in every way possible. Mentoring echoes and reinstates the positive
values and cultural heritage being taught. A mentor encourages positive choices, promotes high self-esteem, supports academic
achievement, and introduces the young mentee to new ideas.
Sarthak Maitra is the platform created by Sarthak, to support an evolving, enriching, empowering relationships and a journey of
a mentor & a mentee that aims at positive transformation and sense of empowerment in the life of student & mentor!
SARTHAK- Maitra is supporting more than 500 such deserving, bright students from financially weaker sections of the society and
would sponsor and empower them to become mature, talented, educated & independent adults in this 5-year journey. Your
contribution and involvement for the cause would help them achieve their dreams and become their partners in the walk of life!
We have a well-designed mentoring and financial support process in place at Sarthak. Every minute that a mentor spends with the
mentee will be a social investment and will also indirectly contribute to the nation's wealth. The greatest dividend, however,
remains the happiness derived from selfless giving.
Be a mentor - Initiate the change! Become positive partners in their growth!
