In many parts of Meghalaya, education is not a straight road. It is interrupted by financial pressure, limited access to career exposure, and uncertainty about what comes after graduation. For families dependent on small businesses, farming, or irregular income, paying school or college fees becomes a monthly struggle. Even bright students begin to question whether continuing their studies is practical. The real challenge often begins after education. Completing a degree does not automatically create employment opportunities. Without structured guidance, skill preparation, and recruitment access, many graduates remain unemployed or underemployed. This gap between education and earning creates frustration and dependency within households that are already financially stretched. Supporting students, therefore, is not just about covering academic costs. It requires continuity, direction, and long-term planning  ensuring that a student who starts studying can realistically move toward financial independence.
