Impact Stories/Sharing
Harini is the daughter of an electrician who earns Rs.200/- as his daily wage and he gets to earn only for 15 - 20 days in a month. His irregular income does not meet the family expense and they live under the poverty line. Her mother is a house wife. Harini also has a younger sister Swetha studying in UKG in Isha Vidhya under the scholarship program.
“As a laborer I never imagined this quality of education with computers and modern learning systems. Now I have hope for my son’s future. This scholarship is God’s gift to my family through you.” Mr. Venkatesh Subramaniam, father of Logesh, student at Isha Vidhya.
It was a moving experience to see such a wonderful atmosphere prevailing in the schools. We could see a sense of dedication among the teachers & the management.-Chitra Sairaj, Visitor at School
Quality education is the only ladder that we can provide these rural children to help them and their families climb out of the economic and social pit. – Sadhguru, Founder
