About Anant Education Initiative
Anant Education Initiative (www.ananteducation.org) works toward providing scholarship to economically challenged meritorious students, eliminating obstacles born out of poverty and thus empowering individuals through education and creating new footprints of knowledge within our society.
Despite the existence of several schemes to encourage economically disadvantaged students to pursue higher education, increasing number of meritorious students discontinue their studies due to financial constraints. Thus, in order to bridge the ever-widening gap between merit, aspiration and funds for quality higher education, Anant Education Initiative, was conceptualised and initiated in March 2011.
Since 2011, Anant has been able to reach out to more than 5000 meritorious students of various educational institutions from across West Bengal and other parts of India like Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Tripura.
Anant Education Initiative also envisions creating industry-ready candidates through training in soft skills, workshops for the all-round personality development, classes in interview-preparedness and by organizing job fairs.

Anant has tied up with several universities like Jadavpur University and Presidency University to provide scholarship to meritorious students from these universities.
Scholar Selection Procedure
Anant asks those interested in being a part of our scholarship program to first formally apply. Once the applications have been received, Anant selects deserving candidates through the process of interviewing and an examination of supporting educational documents.
The scholars who are selected through this process complete banking formalities and are opened an individual bank account by Anant. Our organisation then distributes the scholarship money among the selected candidates through their respective, individual, bank accounts.

How you can help
Anant Education Initiaitive supports each individual scholar with Rs.500 per month, or Rs.6000 per year. Scholarships have not yet been given out for the coming academic year, and for this reason the organisation is trying to accumulate funds so as to provide scholarship to the maximum possible amount of students. By supporting this cause one would be directly contributing towards the higher education of an underprivileged 12th standard graduate.
