Fund Utilization in 2025

Total funds raised in 2025 - INR 18789680
Project NameFull Education Support
Amount Utilized (INR)2412000
Project DescriptionIsha Vidhya provides scholarships and fee subsidies to deserving students from poor rural families, covering tuition, books, and notebooks. This support allows these children to attend high-quality Isha Vidhya schools instead of government schools. Sponsors are matched with students, receiving regular updates with photos, letters, and progress reports, and are encouraged to support them throughout their education.

Many students come from families with generational poverty and illiteracy, often facing nutritional deficiencies that hinder early learning. To help, Isha Vidhya offers remedial classes and extra teachers in early grades for personalized attention, ensuring these students can catch up and succeed. Unlike urban or elite schools where parents often provide academic support, rural parents lack the resources for this. Isha Vidhya’s approach ensures these students receive the support they need to thrive academically.

Project DescriptionScholarships and fee subsidies are provided to deserving students who are selected through a comprehensive allocation process which ensures that only students truly in need receive this help. Sponsors are matched with specific students and receive regular updates with photos, letters and progress reports. Sponsors are encouraged to support a student for the entire duration of education at Isha Vidhya. Even nominal fees are too much for some rural families. Recognizing this challenge, Isha Vidhya provides scholarships, which cover students’ tuition fee, notebooks and textbooks. This allows children who would otherwise only be able to study in govt. schools, to get a high quality education in Isha Vidhya schools.

Project NameRemedial Student Support
Amount Utilized (INR)750000
Project DescriptionRemedial Support to slow learners
Since we are targeting the poorest of the poor, who have faced generational hardships, many families have experienced complete illiteracy. Poverty is so severe that many suffer from serious nutritional deficiencies, which have significantly compromised their learning abilities in early childhood.
• To address this, we are providing additional teachers in early classes to offer more individualized attention. This is the only way these students can be mainstreamed, as expecting them to catch up with the standard curriculum is unrealistic since they struggle to cope.
• If we do not address their learning gaps in the early stages, it will be challenging for them to succeed in higher classes. Most schools do not tackle this issue, and in urban or elite private schools, parents often provide academic support at home. However, rural parents are neither equipped to offer such support nor able to afford external help, such as tuition. Only schools like ours can uplift this segment of students.
