CHANDIGARH: 20 October 2011: SAKSHAR as the name suggests is an education portal that
intends on bridging the gap between the private tutors and the students. Apart from
this, the main punch of the project is helping the disabled community to be the
intermediate between teachers and the students, who can earn by coordinating between
the teachers and students, sitting at their place only. For this, the disabled
community was given a rigorous voice and accent training by the SIFE team. A part of
the income of these disabled people will go to the orphans. The team also plans to
equip them with skills in MS-Excel so as to unable them to come at par with today’s
fast changing world. All the tutors involved will be screened and interviewed by the
SIFE team. The popularity of the idea is rising due to its unique and unparalleled
