About Us

Our Story

Founded by Mr. Ketan Deshpande, FUEL(Friends Union for Energizing Lives) was started as a guiding institution to solve problems that he himself faced after his 12th grade. Ketan and his friends were uninformed regarding various entrance exams to be taken after grade 12 as they had either missed the exams, inappropriately filled the exam forms or were unaware about education avenues altogether.Getting motivated by this, Ketan was spurred to take actions and hence he compiled information of major entrance exams and education opportunities after class 12, and published it as a book Students FUEL. The book was widely appreciated, however, the helper in him wanted to do something further.

He observed that most of the entrance exams have their guidelines released during the peak time from November to February, when most students are busy preparing for board exams. Hence they miss out on this crucial information. Taking this into consideration, Ketan then along with his friends started conducting sessions for class 12 students, giving them complete guidance on all education opportunities, with timelines of exams, details of documents required, and exams paper patterns along with guidance on how to fill up forms, etc.

In this way, NGO FUEL (Friends Union for Energizing Lives) found its inception.

ABOUT FUEL

Friends Union for Energising Lives (FUEL) stems from the understanding that the youth in India form one of the most vulnerable groups, who on the one hand are expected to be the leaders to determine the destiny of India, and on the other lack essential information and opportunities to succeed in life.
