About Udaan

Project Udaan seeks to reduce adolescent pregnancies in Rajasthan by leveraging existing government platforms and programmes across the Health and Education Departments, for scale-up and sustainability. It adopts a multi-sectoral approach to prevent adolescent pregnancy, layering interventions beyond sexual health, to fundamentally change the way adolescent programming is carried on.

Udaan attempts to keep girls in school through their enrolment (school-going and dropout girls) at secondary school level while ensuring that the eligible girls receive their scholarship through collective efforts. School and community-level interventions have been designed to increase girls’ enrolment at secondary level school by generating wide public awareness on the scholarship schemes and mobilising communities to support girls’ education and facilitate their going back to school.
