About Padhaan

Empowering Students Through Education

Padhaan = Padhaai + Udaan. We're on a mission to make quality education accessible to every student through scholarships.

Our Founder

Our founder started Padhaan with a simple yet powerful vision — to make education accessible for every student, regardless of their financial background.

Hi, I’m Manya 👋

I founded Padhaan, an initiative dedicated to helping students discover and access scholarships. I run workshops, collect resources, and am now building a platform to make scholarship information accessible to everyone.

Beyond Padhaan, I’m passionate about economics, psychology, and understanding how informal systems work in daily life. I explore these interests through photojournalism and small research projects, documenting stories that often go unnoticed.

Scholarship Awareness Sessions

Padhaan conducts awareness sessions to help students understand scholarships, eligibility criteria, and the documents they need to apply successfully.
