Vidyadaan Sahayyak Mandal, Thane (VSMThane) was founded in 2008 by a small group of like-minded people who wanted to help the needy and deserving students who were unable to continue their education due to a weak financial position. VSM quickly realized that in order to truly nurture these lives, they would need to give emotional as well as 360-degree support rather than just sponsoring academic fees.
Each and every student is taken care of by a mentor, who keeps in touch and communicates with the students on regular basis. This helps in getting timely updates of the students, be it the grades in exam, participation in extra-curricular activities, attending VSM events, getting to know any academic or personal difficulties faced by the students and addressing same with timely interventions.
VSM grooms the students academically and holistically, by conducting various programs throughout the year which includes specific career guidance, soft skill development, goal setting, communication skills, social camps sponsoring, Be Frank, mock interviews etc. All this is done with the ultimate aim to see the student develop into an independent, self-reliant, socially sensitive and responsible member of the society.
