About Us

We help raising one such that this one can raise many !

Funds solicited exclusively from friends & acquaintances who intend to support our cause and who want to give back to society. Also, our beneficiaries are encouraged to give back once they start earning their livelihood. As of now 55 of our ex-beneficiaries have secured jobs & 20 of them have become our active contributors – we are proud of them. Eventually, this will lead to PRAYAAS being a self-sustaining organisation

Contributors are requested to commit an annual contribution amount. Though one-time contributions are accepted gratefully, long term commitments of contribution help us in planning for the future. Every year we admit students mostly from Std. 11/12 & they are normally supported at least till Graduation i.e., our commitment to them is for a minimum period of 5 years.

Financial challenges faced by the family & willingness of the candidate to continue with studies are two major selection criteria for selecting students. Also, thrust is on getting students from rural / semi urban areas.

Till last FY we have supported total 397 students. And, by end of the current FY, total disbursement will be around ₹ 1.60 Cr since the time PRAYAAS is in existence.
