“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”
We love what we are doing and we are successful !!
Happiness is not a commodity that can be purchased in market paying Money, Shares , Bank balance and Material comforts do not give real happiness. Only education can make a man perfect. Education practice and individual to bloom in this world with real wealth. Educating a child is of a surpassing beauty than feeding it and rather this attitude is many a time better than helping the poor or beggers.
In this sense, our trust is performing its duty to bring up the percentage of literacy in India particularly in remote areas. Nowadays some doctors hesitate to work for the rustics and to render their service in remote areas. But we the trusties strain our every nerve to work for the children in remote areas. As our country is depending on the development of rural areas we give more importance to uplift of the downtrodden and the villagers.
Two years since inception, still succeeding and continuing with our values of support....
Few of our successful projects
Rural Education in India
Education in India has a history stretching back to the ancient urban centres of learning at Taxila and Nalanda. Western education became ingrained into Indian society with the establishment of the British Raj. Education in the Republic of India falls under the control of both the central government and the states, with some responsibilities lying with the centre and the state having autonomy for others. The various articles of the Indian constitution provide for education as a fundamental right.
Despite some setbacks the rural education programmes continued throughout the 1950s, with support from private institutions. A sizable network of rural education had been established by the time the Gandhigram Rural Institute was established and 5, 200 Community Development Blocks were established in India. Nursery schools, elementary schools, secondary school, and schools for adult education for women were set up. The government continued to view rural education as an agenda that could be relatively free from bureaucratic backlog and general stagnation. However, in some cases lack of financing balanced the gains made by rural education institutes of India. Some ideas failed to find acceptability among India's poor and investments made by the government sometimes yielded little results.

Not only for drinking but also for the use of agriculture, animal feeding and domestic uses.

Future Projects
Our Chairman’s Vision - Education City
Our chairman is an ambitious and selfless man with high potential to think about several social driven future projects and one such project is the very useful “Education City” Project. This involves several community people and is currently in inception.
This would have to give full fee concession to 10 per cent students and 50 per cent fee concession to 50 per cent students. The remaining 40 per cent students would get 25 per cent fee concession. Reputed institutes of the world would set up their units in this education city. With a view to bring a qualitative change in the education system, the project already employs teachers who have been recruited and guest teachers have been appointed in schools. Emphasis would be given to promote technical education.
