H. Shri Siddeheshwar Swamiji Jnyan Yogashram, Bijapur. I really like their effort in finding out the bright but economically backward students. They keep accounts very transparent. They are sincere in their efforts. They have touched different parts of the society and those children without Vidya Poshak help probably would have perished. - Smt. Sudha Murty Chairperson, Infosys Foundation, Bengaluru. Vidya Poshak is a great organisation that digs out these nuggets of talent. The question is who should support organisations like Vidya Poshak. I think the way Vidya Poshak should get funded is by millions from a few and a few from millions so that every student is supported by their own community. - Dr. Gururaj Desh Deshapnde Trustee, Deshpande Foundation, USA/India Co-Chair, Barack Obama's National Council for Innovation & Enterenuership, USA. “Volunteer program has been the most remarkable innovation which is a unique feature of Vidya Poshak philosophy and operations.” - Shri Deep Joshi Founder of PRADAN & Magsaysay Awardee, 2009. Vidya Poshak has presented a very unique opportunity to the Supraja Foundation & we earnestly hope and pray that your well directed efforts will bring about desired impact on the lives of the families and aspirations of young direct beneficiaries. - Mr. J.

Financial Assistance Unique process for identifying deserving students A large number of students inevitably opt out of continuing their post 10th education due to financial difficulties. Vidya Poshak attempts to assist such students to continue their education and pursue professional or non-professional courses and realize their career dreams. Vidya Poshak invites applications from meritorious yet economically challenged students who have completed their class 10 examinations through its volunteer network. The volunteers visit the government schools and orient the students about the program and also wide publicity is given through media to reach out to the student community. Based on the 10th class results, students are short-listed for home visits to assess the extent of financial difficulty. Thereafter depending on the merit and home visit reports, the final list of eligible students will be prepared for assisting them with scholarship, books and training. The facilitators with the help of local volunteers and well wishers will organise the financial assistance disbursement programmes in selected locations. On an average every year more than 1000 house visits are made covering 600 villages/ small towns from 10 districts of Karnataka. Thanks to our 500 Senior volunteers and student volunteers who did all the house visit covering more than 25,000
