Scholarships

Lack of access to financial resources is one of the main reasons as to why Adivasi children and youth are unable to pursue their educational journeys. Common understanding is that scholarships are towards school or college fees. But in the context here, when we say scholarship support, support ranging from providing umbrellas, school bags, travel allowance, tuition support for children who have failed exams, as well as hostel/ school fees are included. Village level volunteers,
as well as community leaders recommend children and families in need of support for scholarships which then get decided and processed through a Scholarships Committee which includes people from the community. This process enables people and leaders from the community to get involved and ensures dignity and agency through the process. Children receiving scholarships are not seen as mere beneficiaries or recipients of the program, but rather the process is seen as the community coming together to support their children and the youth. 

210 children have received Scholarships in the year 2024-25.
