The Sashakt Beti Project is a visionary initiative dedicated to the empowerment of girls in the realm of education at the University of Delhi. In a world, where access to quality education can be unequal, this project aims to be a beacon of opportunity for young girls, fostering a nurturing environment for their academic growth. In a world increasingly driven by digital resources, the lack of access to personal computing devices can hinder educational opportunities, especially for young girls. The Sashakt Beti Project seeks to address this disparity by putting the power of technology directly into the hands of female students.

Students at the University of Delhi come from diverse social and economic backgrounds. Around 60% of our students belong to economically and/or socially weaker sections of society. A large section of these students needs financial support for their academic and professional growth. The University regularly invests in these students by emphasising their academic and non-academic development. The University of Delhi invites donations towards Project Sahyog for financing Merit-Cum-Need-based scholarships to help these students.
General Scholarship

Under this category, a donor may initiate a scholarship in a name of their choice (such as friends, family, organisation, company, etc). For each name, the amount of the scholarship initiated should be a minimum of Rs. 1 lac per year. If a donor wishes to start a scholarship in more than one names, the amount to be awarded will be multiplied for each name and year.

If the award is in the name of “Mr. and Mrs. Mehta” for 14 years, then they contribute Rs. 28 lacs. A donor may provide their own defined set of rules/instructions for selection of the awardee.
