The “Sun Pharma Career Counselling” program was initiated in Gujarat in collaboration with Sun Pharmaceutical Industries as a structured education and career guidance initiative aimed at enabling school students to make informed academic and professional decisions at an early stage. Designed to address the growing need for career awareness and direction among adolescents, the program focused on helping students identify their interests, understand their strengths and capabilities, explore diverse career pathways, and develop greater confidence in planning their future. The initiative aimed to create a supportive guidance ecosystem that empowers students with the knowledge and clarity required to make well-informed educational and career choices.

Implemented through a school partnership model, the program was conducted across 14 schools in Gujarat and directly benefited 1,945 students. The initiative was rolled out through a phased and systematic approach, beginning with school onboarding, stakeholder engagement, and student orientation sessions, followed by structured career counselling interventions and guidance activities. Through interactive counselling sessions, students were introduced to various academic streams, emerging career opportunities, skill requirements, and future education pathways, enabling them to make more informed and aspirational career decisions.
