Education & Scholarships
Bringing every Bengali child back to the classroom — with books, fees and dignity.
What is the problem in West Bengal?
Over 12 lakh children drop out of school in West Bengal between Class V and Class X — most from SC/ST and Muslim minority households.
Government school infrastructure in blocks like Sandeshkhali, Hingalganj and Jangalmahal lacks safe toilets, libraries and trained science teachers.
Meritorious girls from artisan and farming families are pushed into early marriage because parents cannot afford ₹500/month tuition.
What can be done?
Run after-school remedial centres in every Panchayat with retired teachers and college volunteers.
Award NEEDS-based scholarships of ₹6,000–₹24,000/year so girls finish Class XII and graduation.
Donate refurbished laptops, science kits and a 500-book library to one rural school every quarter.
How can you & I solve this?
Sponsor one child's annual education for as little as ₹6,000 — that's one cup of coffee a day.
Donate your old (working) laptop or smartphone — we wipe, refurbish and gift it to a Class XI student.
Mentor a student for 1 hour/week on Zoom — math, English, career guidance, college applications.
Our Stand
"Education is the only inheritance that cannot be stolen. When you fund one girl's graduation in Murshidabad, you change three generations of her family forever."
