THE TAKENSTAR STORY

Bridging the Divide Between Degrees and Employable Skills

In 2021, educator and technologist Rituraj Saikia noticed a profound systemic paradox across Assam. Hundreds of bright young men and women were graduating from higher secondary schools and colleges with formal marks, yet struggled to crack basic office jobs or administrative posts because they had never practiced hands-on computer operations.

Commercial courses in distant metro cities like Guwahati or Kolkata were prohibitively expensive, and local institutes often treated computer education as theoretical memorization with crowded, outdated machines.

“Takenstar was created with an uncompromising pledge: Every student who walks into our centre must get their own dedicated keyboard and mouse, learn modern office tools by doing, and graduate with a credential that commands genuine respect from employers.”

Founder & Director, Takenstar Educational Hub

Starting from a single flagship lab in Gelakey, Sivasagar, Takenstar evolved rapidly into a state-wide movement. Today, with over 50 authorized study centres and more than 10,000 alumni across Assam and neighboring regions, Takenstar stands as an educational lighthouse for rural and semi-urban youth.

FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK

“True Skill is the Greatest Equalizer in Human Society.”

When we laid the foundation stone of Takenstar in Sivasagar in 2021, our purpose was clear: to create an educational institution where a student from a remote tea-estate hamlet or village has the exact same computer lab facilities, practical knowledge, and career confidence as someone graduating in a major IT hub.

Today, seeing thousands of our alumni successfully managing administrative offices, accounts firms, digital publishing units, and preparing for government examinations validates our collective hard work.

We remain passionately dedicated to student success, ethical academic leadership, and continuous skill elevation across the North-East.
