It will be 15 years this time in 2023 that I will be running in the marathon to raise funds for educating rural children. When i see the success stories and the way these children and growing it makes me feel so fulfilled! This has been possible thanks to the generous support from friends, relatives and well wishers like you who have been contributing spontaneously! Isha Vidhya currently runs 10 schools in Tamilnadu(TN) & Andhra Pradesh(AP), with 8,500 children (49% girls), 60% supported through scholarships. Isha is also carrying out critical interventions through GSSP (Govt School Support Program) in 26 rural government schools, benefiting over 10,000 students. Isha Vidhya students have been doing remarkably well in their board exams with 100% pass results every year and stupendous performance by a few. Just a look at the way the alumni is shaping is so heartening. I have shared a few of their stories in photos below. A few donation suggestions.... the cost of full scholarship including books, transport and mid day meal for 1 child is Rs 33000 and only scholarship per student is Rs 19000. , transport subsidy is Rs 7750 per child, and noon meal is Rs 5000 per child. or any amount as general donation. I look forward to your support this year too. Every rupee you donate will be put to effective use.
