12,400 children supported across 180 villages. Our education work ensures no child in our programme areas drops out due to poverty, distance, or lack of resources.

Full scholarships covering tuition, hostel, and books for meritorious students from BPL families pursuing graduation and professional degrees.
68 Prayas Vaachanalay (reading rooms) set up in village community centres, each stocked with 400+ books in Marathi, Hindi, and English.
