$50000Isha Vidhya, a not for profit education initiative, works for the economic and social empowerment of rural children in the villages across India. Through this effort, the foundation is committed to raising the level of education and literacy in rural India and to helping disadvantaged children realize their full potential.
Isha Vidhya schools offer a nurturing approach to education in villages. Isha Vidhya has been an active supporter of promoting education among female children in the villages and all our schools have seen an increased enrollment of girl children.
Isha Vidhya currently runs 8 schools ( http://www.ishavidhya.org/contact-us.html) and this has had a great impact in the lives of villages in the surrounding locality. The schools presently cater to more than 4000 students from nearby villages, with approximately 60% (2400) of students on free education through donations from our scholarship program.
This has created the possibility for the rural children to pursue higher education or find gainful employment and thus build a strong foundation for the future of these children and alleviate themselves out of poverty.
Isha Vidhya functions on a grass-roots level, relying on community involvement and the support of innumerable volunteers and donors.
Is this a curse or a boon?
If most of these children remain ill-educated and unhealthy, that would be a disaster. But 363 million* well-educated, intelligent and resourceful young men and women could change the face of the country.
Most children in the country go to government schools. The government has recently taken significant steps to improve education for children – one of which is to partner with voluntary agencies to improve the quality of education they provide.
Having made pioneering advances in rural education through Isha Vidhya, Isha Foundation has taken the next step in adopting 31 schools in the districts of Coimbatore, Dharmapuri and Salem in the state of Tamil Nadu. This will improve the quality of education in these schools and benefit approximately 28,000 students.
The project is making a difference improving the quality and delivery of education in government schools is already underway in the following areas:
District | Coimbatore | Dharmapuri | Salem | Total |
Total Schools | 14 | 12 | 5 | 31 |
Total Students | 9,075 | 13,165 | 3,679 | 25,919 |
