Educating families in distress due to corona, cancer and other reasons

The families may get distressed due to corona, cancer, acid victims, and farmers, who have committed suicides. The family members go through psychological trauma and have limited or no financial resources aggravating the distress. We work on providing holistic education to the appropriate members of the family. We don’t consider the academic performance and IQ of the members chosen for the support. We emphasize on providing educational opportunities, which consider employability, the capabilities and interest of the family member(s), with a goal to rehabilitate the family
Our operating principles are as follows;
1. Holistic development: we emphasize developing students in multiple dimensions and encourage students’ participation in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
2. Total inclusivity: we admit students with no considerations for caste, creed, religion, region, etc...
3. Customized career planning: we provide services of professional counselors, who assess students’ aptitude and counsel them for appropriate career paths.
4. A cycle of giving: a keystone of our goal is to inculcate social commitment in our students so that they can ably and passionately carry forward the mission of the foundation.
5. Quality over quantity: we give more emphasis on the quality of service provided to the students than the number of students we are supporting.
