Launched in 2023, our Karnataka program expands Saheli Ki Udaan to 138 KGBVs across the state \u2014 co-created with the government, adapted for local needs, and designed for long-term systemic transformation.

This new chapter, Gelathiyerondige Haarona meaning \u201cLet\u2019s walk together, sisters\u201d captures the spirit of collective growth and dignity. After a successful pilot in Kolar and Mysuru districts, the Government of Karnataka invited us to scale. Today, we\u2019re reaching 221 KGBVs under a formal MoU, evolving the Saheli Ki Udaan model to reflect local languages, cultures, and contexts.

Here too, Girls strengthen their voice and confidence through foundational English and critical skills blending classroom sessions, tablet-based learning, and community touchpoints. Wardens and Parents are trained to lead with empathy and focus on well-being, while a randomized controlled trial with J-PAL and Echidna Giving is underway to measure long-term impact and evidence of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
