"All agree
that the single most important key to development and to poverty
alleviation is education."
vvv |
| Education opens doors and
empowers. For people, it opens up a world of opportunities, reduces
the burden of disease and poverty, and gives greater voice in
society. For nations, it opens doors to economic and social
prosperity, spurred by a dynamic workforce and well-informed
citizenry able to compete and cooperate in the global arena. |

Why
Invest in Education?
Because education is a
powerful lever for poverty reduction and economic growth …
vvv |
|
| Education empowers
people to take charge of
their lives and make informed choices
It gives voice to the
disadvantaged and is
fundamental to constructing democratic societies
It fosters equity and social
cohesion by providing people
with access to productive assets such as land and capital, and by
increasing labor mobility and earnings potential.
It promotes sustained, job-creating
economic growth and is key to attainment
of the Millennium Development Goals (box); no country has
ever achieved economic growth without reaching a critical threshold of
about 40 percent in its adult literacy rate
It builds globally competitive
economies by helping
countries to develop a skilled, productive labor force and to create,
apply, and spread new ideas and technologies
It promotes good health by
encouraging children to practice healthy behaviors and avoid risky ones;
giving youth the knowledge and values to avoid contracting diseases such
as HIV/AIDS; and empowering women to have fewer children and better care
for themselves and their families

pursue their academic career without financial constraints. The Foundation
gives students, Scholarship, prizes and financial help. It is a socially
conscious group of volunteers who go into far off villages to spread
literacy amongst the needy and poor people without any caste, religion
barrier and assist them to lead and live a living. It is also actively
planning workshops for creating social consciousness amongst young people.
Objectives of the Trust :
To give free education to the
poor and brilliant student.
To
give loans, scholarships, prizes and monetary assistance to deserving
students of the Trust's institutions to help them in their studies.
"Education can
be the difference between a life of grinding poverty and the potential for
a full and secure one; between a child dying from preventable disease, and
families raised in healthy environments; between orphans growing up in isolation, and
the community having the means to protect them; between countries ripped
apart by poverty and conflict, and access to secure and sustainable
development. |
