01Initiatives
Education
A free library, school-fee and uniform support, awareness campaigns and recognition for students who do well.
Most of the foundation’s work sits here. The aim is narrow and practical: remove the specific things that stop a rural student from continuing — a fee that cannot be paid, a uniform that is missing, or simply nowhere quiet and well-lit to study.

01Education
Free Library
A reading room open at no charge, with CCTV, broadband internet, furniture and an inverter for power backup.
- What we do
- A library that any student may use free of charge. The foundation reports providing a CCTV facility, broadband internet, furniture and an inverter facility so that study is not interrupted when the power goes.
- Why it matters
- In the villages around Dausa a student preparing for a competitive examination often has no quiet room, no reliable electricity and no internet connection at home. The library supplies all three in one place.
- Who it serves
- Students from the nearby rural areas, including those preparing for government recruitment examinations.
- Reported activity
- Approximately 30–40 nearby rural students use the library.
- CCTV facility, broadband internet, furniture and inverter facility provided.
- Reported outcome
Approximately 5–10 students are reported to have been selected for government service after studying through the free library.
02Education
School Fee Assistance
Help with school fees so that a student is not withdrawn part-way through the year.
- What we do
- The foundation contributes towards the school fees of students whose families cannot meet them.
- Why it matters
- An unpaid fee is one of the commonest reasons a rural student stops attending, and it usually arrives at a moment the family cannot plan for.
- Who it serves
- School students from families that cannot meet the fee.
- Reported activity
- Approximately 50–55 students received school-fee support in 2024–2025.
03Education
Dress & Uniform Support
Free school dress and uniform, including for girls from poor families.
- What we do
- The foundation provides school dress and uniform without charge, and reports providing free dress and uniform for girls from poor families in particular.
- Why it matters
- A missing uniform keeps a child out of the classroom just as effectively as a missing fee, and is felt most sharply by girls.
- Who it serves
- School students, with free dress and uniform reported for girls from poor families.
- Reported activity
- Approximately 250 students are reported to have received dress/uniform support across the previous three years.
04Education
Merit Student Recognition
Class 10 and Class 12 students who do well are recognised publicly in front of their village.
- What we do
- A talent recognition ceremony at which meritorious Class 10 and Class 12 students are honoured with certificates and mementos.
- Why it matters
- Public recognition in the village changes what families and younger children believe is possible, at almost no cost.
- Who it serves
- Class 10 and Class 12 students from schools in the area.
- Reported activity
- Approximately 25 students with more than 80% were recognised in 2025–2026.
05Education
Education Awareness
Campaigns held in the villages themselves, with students, parents and teachers together.
- What we do
- Education awareness campaigns conducted in villages, held in school grounds with students and villagers present.
- Why it matters
- Decisions about whether a child continues studying are taken at home, so the conversation has to happen in the village rather than in an office.
- Who it serves
- Students, parents and teachers in the villages around Dausa.
- Reported activity
- Education awareness campaigns conducted in villages.
