About Us

Lifetime learning and earning skill development

Aspirant Education was founded in the year 2007 by a young professor who brought together a group of like-determined individuals to support the betterment of youth — with a focus on skill development, tribal education, food relief and women empowerment.

Aspirant Education began this journey with a dream of a world where every underprivileged youth is showered with love, education and earning-skill opportunities to grow into a bright destiny and lifetime earnings; where no child's innocence is harmed by the horrors of adolescent labour; where tribal education reaches the places government schemes do not; and where women's welfare is met with awareness, so they are empowered to sustain themselves and their households.

The problem we work on

About one in six Indian city residents lives in an urban slum with unsanitary conditions that are “unfit for human habitation”, according to the first complete census of India's vast slum population, and India's unemployment rate stands at 7.99 per cent. People surviving in crowded urban slums do not have a sufficient water supply, hygiene, food, shelter or confidence. Slum-dwellers generally do not receive a primary education — instead of going to school, they start labour work to support their families. The obstacles are the same in both rural and urban India.

We at Aspirant Education vowed to resolve this widespread violation of individuals' principal rights — specifically of women and youngsters residing in the slums of India. We focus on empowering them through schooling and employment, by building skill-development training courses shaped around the needs of society.

Our purpose is to strengthen the careers of disadvantaged youths and women and to give them a positive outlook and a healthier approach to life. Aspirant Education continues to affirm itself as a sincere, credible, trustworthy, transparent and liable organisation that devotes itself to empowerment — a privileged destiny for the not-so-privileged ones.

The story behind the formation of Aspirant Education

Once, Dr. Chhitiz — founder of Aspirant Education — met an underprivileged boy on the street and asked him: “Why don't you learn a skill to earn?” The boy replied, “Nobody ever asked me this question, so I have never thought about it — nor do I have money to invest.” Dr. Chhitiz arranged his admission to a training centre in Kota.

One day, Dr. Chhitiz and his friends were at the Chokhi Dhani resort for a gathering. A young waiter — teary-eyed and smiling at the same time — came up to him and said, “This job would not have been possible without your help,” and thanked him. Dr. Chhitiz recognised him: he was the same boy he had met a year earlier on the street. The boy now works at Chokhi Dhani as a senior waiter — and aspires to be a manager.

That day he realised the power of providing training and education to the right person. He and his friends formed a community and a small skill-development centre to provide learning and earning skills to underprivileged youth.
