Under the visionary leadership of the Director, SCERT Pune, Shri Rahul Ashok Rekhawar, Joint Director, Smt. Kamla Devi Awate, and Deputy Director, Shri Ibrahim Nadaf, and with the support of the VGPG Department Head and Assistant Director, Smt. Aruna Yadav, and Senior Lecturer, Smt. Dipali Jogdande, we were able to achieve this important milestone with the partnership of UNICEF and Antarang Foundation.
Every student deserves clarity, choice, and direction in shaping their future. Maharashtra has taken a significant step by launching a state-wide pilot for a Comprehensive Career Guidance Programme in secondary and higher secondary schools.
This journey began with a State-Level Resource Training, described by the Hon. Director Shri Rahul Ashok Rekhawaras, who took the first step towards institutionalising career education through a structured, system-wide approach.
Through Marathi 503 Career Cards, the TAMANNA aptitude test, and capacity building of State-Level Resources, the pilot aims to strengthen meaningful career conversations.
These trained resources will now support teachers across 506 schools, ensuring consistent implementation and helping students better understand their interests, abilities, and future career pathways.
