Who We Are?

"ShikshaDaan provides scholarships to students from the underprivileged sections of the society after they have completed their 10th standard. We believe that funding students closer to their getting employed helps BPL and poor families to improve their economic status. Also, research says the largest dropout rate is after the 10th std.

ShikshaDaan provides scholarships for students to pursue their 11th, 12th and continue onto a degree program or join an ITI to pursue a vocational program that leads to a job or a self employment opportunity. The focus is on funding education that leads to employment.

In order to find deserving candidates for the scholarships and also to find trustworthy partners who can source deserving candidates, the Co-Founders have embarked on a "ShikshaDaan Yatra". It's a drive across every district of India (676 in all) and it started on April 10, 2015 from Himachal Pradesh. Get regular updates on "Yatra Statistics". This Yatra has helped ShikshaDaan to create an extensive network of on-ground validated partners who help source validated beneficiaries."
