The primary motive of Ullas is to recognise academic excellence in students from economically-challenged sections of our society and encourage a ‘can do’ spirit, for them to chase their dreams and aspirations. Very early in its evolution, Ullas decided to focus its energy on students during the most vulnerable stage in their journey – adolescence! This would translate into students from Class (Grade) 9th to 12th.
With these two-pronged criteria, Ullas selects students from Municipal, Corporation & Government schools every year through an entrance examination and a well-defined selection process. We call such students Young Achievers.
