Nurture Merit




Vidya Poshak (VP) and Prerana are two non-profit organisations (NGO’s)  working for students cause. Prerana works in Bangalore whereas VidyaPoshak in other 23 districts of Karnataka and Maharashtra. The primary objective is to assist post 10th grade students with finance, books and trainings. Since 2001, more than 17000 students have received assistance. To know more about their services please visit www.vidyaposhak.org and www.prerana.org.in.


Why ?


The above mentioned organizations are reaching out to the student community for last 9 years. The growing need for services on various fronts like financial assistance, book and training, could not be fully met due to lack of resources – funds, infrastructure, man power (mentors, volunteers, trainers etc.) and technology. Although some limited man power is available, it is not sufficient compared to the need. These organisations also believe that in order to give effective and quality services, the mission should be shared and owned by the large number of like minded people. ‘VidyaPoshak- Prerana Community’ is formed to address the above.
