Education serves as a crucial instrument for breaking the chains of poverty, yet countless underprivileged students in India find themselves denied this vital opportunity. As of 2023, the majority of Indians above the age of 25 were either illiterate or had only received a primary-level education (Source: Data For India). Higher education is a critical gateway to skilled employment and a driving force behind economic growth. Yet, just over one in ten Indians have completed a higher education programme.

Even with government initiatives aimed at promoting education, financial obstacles force many talented individuals to set aside their aspirations for higher learning. A mere handful of students from low-income backgrounds can access quality education, which only deepens the existing inequalities and stifles their potential. There is an urgent need to bridge this gap, and that’s where Milaap steps in. With the Higher Education Fund, Milaap’s goal is to provide financial aid for underprivileged students to pursue higher education.

Milaap offers a crowdfunding platform that enables underprivileged students to pursue higher education leveraging the power of crowdfunding. Our platform helps them raise funds, connecting these deserving students with generous donors, and helping them cover tuition fees, secure scholarships, and access essential educational resources. Milaap ensures that every contribution is used transparently and effectively, directly impacting the students' academic success.

Your donation has the power to transform a student's life. By contributing, you are not just funding a student’s education—you are investing in the future of India. Every rupee you donate helps break down the financial barriers that prevent talented young individuals from achieving their dreams. Together, we can create a more equitable society where education is a right, not a privilege.
