Vidya Poshak aims to support 500 meritorious economically challenged students to continue their higher education in 2015 by providing Educational support who otherwise end up severely limiting their educational and career horizons due to lack of financial resources, proper educational guidance, and skills required to succeed.
Only 13% of the eligible youth in the age group of 18-23 are entering into higher education. The major reason being economic challenges, more than 27.50% of Indian population is below poverty line, for whom higher education is only a dream in spite of many having a very high potential. This results in loss of precious human resource with excellent potential, who otherwise could have contributed for their families, society & nation building.
Nurturing Merit, Enabling a Bright Future" Is a well-designed, structured and focused project to support bright students from economically challenged families. The support is extended to post 10th grade students to continue their college/higher education till completion of graduation leading to meaningful employment. The project has integrated services of Financial Assistance to cover college fees and exam fees, Library services & Skill Training.
Education of one person can break the cycle of poverty. Through Nurture Merit initiative of supporting bright students from economically challenged background will bring out these 500 families out of poverty forever.
