In the ensuing years, we intend to plan our activities to extend more coverage of areas. We are expanding our efforts to Kurla, Bandra East and neighboring slum area and poor students from Siddharth College Churchgate, Chetana’s College, Bandra in Mumbai. They have major share of SC/ST, OBC students.

In last seven years, while working at grass root level, we have realized and experienced certain practical issues, which we would like to share with you.

We are quoting few examples as narrated below:-

1. Even if computer courses are available at minimum fees of Rs. 300 - 1100, much lesser than the commercial rates which prevails at Rs. 3000 – 5000, still parents of40% - 50% students cannot afford the fees.
2. Many schools are providing extracurricular activities at free of cost to their students like drawing classes, sports training etc. But, in many cases talented students are not in a position to avail the facilities and cannot reach up to State or National level competition because of inability of their parents to cater them with sports uniform, painting material, required stationery, fees and travelling expenses etc.
3. Inability to pay fees, project charges, maintenance charges, etc. restrict their opportunities in getting admissions to computer courses, hobby classes, sports or other career oriented courses.
4. In some cases it happens that the academic results of the students are held up due to non payment of fees and hence they are deprived of from attending the next academic year.
5. Students from rural areas stay in hostels or with their relatives in towns. They hardly manage their college fees and living expenses in towns.  Due to financial constraints, they miss several educational opportunities of their developments.
6. We try to give college fees and other educational help to the students whose family annual income is between 40,000 to 1 lac.

Our proposal seeks funds to support these students. We take hard efforts to identify such students, verify their needs, test their sincerity and desire to learn, their passion towards studies and their academic progress and account for all these factors while preparing the proposal.

Our combined initiative and support will make all the difference in the life and future of children who thus far have been deprived of any chances to participate in a fast paced, globalized world.
