Sai students join together to offer free education

 

Sai students have started a unique institution TO OFFER FREE

EDUCATION to poor students who have passed 12th class, at

Coimbatore, India .

 

It is known as VidyaSagar Institute of Management and Rural

Development. A trust was formed on teacher's day Sept5th and the

institute commenced classes from 18th September

 

Our Vision:

 

We, at VidyaSagar Institute, continually strive to impart

professional and value based Rural Management education to students

in order to produce enlightened youth that would work for upliftment

of society.

 

Goal:

 

TO EDUCATE 1000 RURAL STUDENTS AND THROUGH THEM UPLIFT 100000 RURAL

PEOPLE.

 

The institute conducts a 3-year program leading to diploma in

development management, certified by center for entrepreneurship

development. Students are also encouraged to pursue BBA from any

reputed Univ. through distance learning.

 

A network of NGOs in and around Coimbatore supports us. Experts from

Agricultural Univ., Gandhigram rural Univ., Indian institute of

forest management, Alumni of IRMA are giving us helping hand. Some

very reputed professors at IIM Bangalore, who work with NGOs, are

with us.

 

In the first batch we have 15 students. All are from families with

monthly income of around Rs.1000/-.

 

In the last few weeks we have achieved a lot. Our students are very

motivated and are eager to learn and serve. They sit for long

sessions of 3 hrs continuously. Considering the fact that they are

in the age group of around 18, it is a commendable achievement. They

meditate everyday before the classes for 30 min. They are different

from the students of all the other colleges in Coimbatore City.

 

They have also attended one-day workshop on "Human rights and

development" conducted by our associate NGO, Shanthi Ashram.
