Financial support to continue higher education for deserving meritorious students from economically deprived segment of the society is the identity of Vidya Poshak from past 18 long years. The meritorious students coming from economically impoverished families who cannot afford to continue their post 10th education are assisted financially to peruse their collegiate education both in professional as well as non-professional courses.
In the year 2018 more than 2700 students applied for financial support from 10 districts of Karnataka. Our esteemed volunteers visited more than 1900+ student houses from about 500 villages & small towns and selected 374 deserving students based on their merit and poverty level. The short listing was done after meeting the students and family members in their home personally to understand their economic status.
As per the established norms “renewal of financial” aid has also been done during the financial year. Totally 1027 renewal students financially assisted.
