WHAT IS SITARA AKKA?
A SUPPORT SYSTEM. 'AKKA' IN KANNADA MEANS 'BIG SISTER'.
Akka in Kannada means big sister. Sitara Akka is a community of Akkas and Annas who hold space for our makkalu to discover who they are.
Our Akkas and Annas are trained in the Eqube Life Education curriculum. Their role is not to advise, instruct, or guide decision making, but to be mirrors. Through tools and processes, students build their relational identity with self and the world.
In a world shaped by borrowed definitions of success and the chase for external approval, we walk alongside our children to find meaning from within.
THE WHY BEHIND SITARA AKKA
As an education system, we have not given students the inner tools to meet confusion, setbacks, and pressure. Without this foundation, many begin to live reactively, experiencing life as something that happens to them, not through them.
Sitara Akka exists to help students show up each day with greater awareness and ownership, no matter what life brings. Practiced over time, this leads to deeper inner alignment.

"Sitara akka was one of my best teacher in my life and mam is one of the best role model and weapon in our life. Our school they did not gave proper coaching. One day during school level examination I was demotivated by my teacher and I felt very sad. So I was followed Sitara akka class both maths and science. From their support, I got 100/100 in my science annual exam. I was 3rd topper in our school."

"Sitara akka is a guiding light in my life. Randomly one day I got to know about Sitara akka in my class 9th. Now I'm studying in class 12th but till today they are with me. They all are supporting me a lot, not only in my studies but also when I'm stressed or confused. Specially Shriya akka and Shruthy akka helped me a lot. I'll always be grateful for Sitara akka team. Thank you sooo much all Akkas and annas"

"Sitara Akka is truly a blessing in my life, and Shreya Akka is my angel. I don't just say this casually—I literally mean it. They both have a very special place in my life. Sitara Akka came into my life when I was in a really bad state of mind—completely demotivated and hopeless about my future. And became the hope and the light of my future. I was in my 10th when I saw the video of shreya akka for the first time... whenever I searched for any topic, I would always write from Sitara Akka"
