Isha Vidhya, works for the economic and social empowerment of rural children in the villages across southern state of Tamil Nadu, India. The foundation is committed to raising the level of education and literacy in rural India and to helping disadvantaged children realize their full potential. The foundation through its 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. The schools presently cater to more than 8523 students from nearby villages, with approximately 60% of students on free education through donations from the scholarship program. All the proceeds from this will go towards providing free education to children and keeping them in schools.
