Shakti Foundation Launches Centre of Excellence for NEET, JEE Aspirants

Indore, August 17, 2026: SEVA Shakti Foundation Charitable Trust, the CSR arm of Shakti Pumps (India) Limited, has launched the Shakti Centre of Excellence at Sindoda, Village Rangwasa, Rau, Indore, to support talented students from economically weaker backgrounds pursuing medicine and engineering.

The initiative will provide selected students with 100% scholarship support, including zero tuition fees and free study material. The programme is designed for Class 10, 11 and 12 Science students and NEET/JEE aspirants, with classroom learning, regular tests, performance tracking, daily practice, mentorship and career guidance. The Centre will also offer smart classrooms and residential facilities with accommodation and food for selected students.

The initiative is being implemented under the Foundation’s “Pumping Life” philosophy, with a focus on expanding access to education and creating opportunities for students whose academic potential may otherwise be constrained by financial circumstances. The Centre will have an academic team with experience in competitive examination preparation, covering Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology.

Mr. Ankit Patidar, Director, Shakti Group, said, “At Shakti, we believe that the foundation of a strong and progressive nation is built by empowering its people with the right opportunities. Just as our business journey has been driven by innovation, perseverance and the pursuit of excellence, we want to bring the same values to our approach towards education. The Shakti Centre of Excellence is our endeavour to ensure that a student's potential is not limited by their economic circumstances. By providing access to quality coaching, experienced faculty and mentorship, we hope to help young students pursue their dreams of becoming doctors, engineers and future contributors to the nation.”

Mrs. Indira Patidar, Director, Shakti Foundation, added, “Education has the power to transform not just an individual life, but an entire family and community. Through the Shakti Centre of Excellence, our aim is to identify deserving young talent and create an environment where students can learn, grow and realise their potential without the burden of coaching fees. This initiative is an important step in our CSR journey towards creating meaningful and sustainable social impact. We hope that the students who benefit from this programme will not only achieve their own aspirations but, in time, become a source of inspiration and opportunity for others.”

Admission will be based on a scholarship test followed by a personal interview. With limited seats, the selection process will assess students on academic potential, commitment and their aspiration to pursue competitive examinations.
