Building Brighter Futures: Inside SPJIMR’s Abhyudaya Programme
Discover the transformative impact of SPJIMR's Abhyudaya initiative, where mentorship is more than guidance—it's a bridge to a brighter future. This unique program pairs underprivileged youth with SPJIMR PGDM students, who provide personalised mentorship as part of their outside classroom learning experience. Through this interaction, students not only offer academic support and life skills training but also cultivate thoughtful leadership that extends beyond the classroom.
