Puthri is India’s first ever developmental project that seeks to create Career Intentionality among underprivileged girl students. It is an initiative by Avtar Human Capital Trust (AHCT), a not for-profit public charitable organization.
Everybody has dreams. It is the reality around us that propels or dispels them.
When we talk about making ours a developed nation, it is essential to include all into our growth story. While many of us have our own vehicles to use to drive to our destinations, there are many who are left behind due to the lack of it. Project Puthri, a cause which is close to my heart, is an effort to enable the underprivileged girl children to pursue their dreams and break out of the vicious cycle of poverty and to become tax paying citizens. After completing 5 successful years, Project Puthri now is all set to spread its wings to impact the lives of many more girl students
across the length and breadth of our country. The success of the program so far has only given us impetus to take this model to every Indian school where girls can be taught to be career intentional and create their own destinies.
I thank every volunteer, teacher, donor, role model, mentor who has worked with us so far. It is your dedication and commitment to our Puthris that has resulted in this success. Looking forward to creating many more intentional Puthris along with all of you in the coming years!

Being a mentor gives me immense satisfaction because I can help and guide Puthri scholars in developing career intentionality. An educated girl can empower an entire generation, and an informed Puthri scholar will opt for the right career path and inspire the next generation. I take pride in being a part of the team that works hard to interact, identify, and hone the skills, of deserving Puthri scholars for a bright future.

Mentoring online through webinar sessions has encouraged me to be creative in my presentation. Searching for stories that Puthri’s can identify or connect with, and presenting them so that every Puthri participates during the mentoring session, has been a rewarding experience. I thank all the Puthri volunteers for helping me through the sessions and making my learning experience a satisfying journey. More…
