challenges
-
In rural India over 60% of the children are first-generation students hailing from socio-economically deprived families.
-
Children, especially girls from repressed communities and nomadic tribes often have to drop out, failing to realize that an educated woman empowers her entire community starting from her own home.
-
There is a large gap between the skills urban children gain, and the skills rural children are able to pick up at school. Rural India remains an untapped talent pool.
-
Students from rural areas migrate to cities for quality education, which entails an increased overall education cost. These students not only have to arrange for tuition fees but also for the living expenses.

current state
JP’s long experience of working at the grassroots shows that there are boys and girls in every community who have the potential to break free of the shackles of poverty and to become role models for the others.
However, most of these children come from a very poor background and cannot afford to pay for their schooling. As our school runs without any government grant or aid, we need to raise enough funds from our friends and well-wishers to realize our dream. The donation received would be used to offer scholarships to these students in need.
Currently, to bridge the gap between rural and urban education JP operates through our 4 different sites. By providing the following facilities to the financially challenged students. Fee connection, full scholarship, subsidized housing, and meal plans, scholarship for living expenses and of course quality education
We aim to sponsor 459 students through these sponsorships for the coming academic year.
