Jeevan Pravaas
Empowering Youth for a Fulfilling Life Journey
In a nation where the pressures of modern life weigh heavily on young shoulders, Jeevan Pravaas aims to provide solution to the confused youth as well as anxious parents . Our mission is simple yet profound: to equip the youth with the tools they need not just to succeed in their careers, but to savor every moment of life itself. Here’s why our journey is so crucial:
Parental Stress & Lost Quality Time
Parents today are fraught with worry, struggling to understand their teenage children and missing out on precious quality time.
Youth Confusion & Peer Pressure
Young individuals grapple with bewildering options, intense competition, peer and parental pressures when choosing careers, often overlooking their own passions and suitability.
Education-Industry Mismatch
Our education system falls short in meeting market demands, resulting in a significant skills gap that frustrates both employers and employees.
Ever-Evolving Careers
Rapid technological advancements render traditional career paths obsolete while new ones emerge constantly, leaving young minds without a structured approach to adapt and thrive.
Deteriorating Health
Health deteriorating under work-induced stress, and survival taking precedence over well-being.
Underprivileged Youth Resource Deprivation
Underprivileged youth lack the guidance and resources needed to pursue their dreams.
Disabled Youth
Disabled youth often prioritize survival over career growth and life enjoyment.
Cofounded by two passionate Indian Navy veterans with more than a decade of experience in the field of career mentoring, our mission is to make the youth of India productive & happy to create a “Viksit Bharat 2047”. We are working towards providing high quality & impactful Career & Wellbeing mentoring to all the youth across the country.
We aim to guide and empower young individuals, helping them navigate life's journey with purpose and joy.
