Vidyapurna Educational Sponsorship – Helping hand by Annapurna Pariwar

Apeksha Ashish Gavare, Najmin Mainuddin Shaikh, Prathamesh Pavan Kumbhar along with many other children have been able to continue their education thanks to the Vidyapurna program run by Annapurna Pariwar.  Vidyapurna – a sponsorship program by Annapurna Pariwar has been running for the last 16 years and has brought a smile on the face of many single mothers who wish to continue the education of their children.



Annapurna provides a platform to all those willing to contribute towards education for poor kids but, do not know how.

The scheme ‘Vidyapurna’ was conceptualized by Dr. Medha Samant (Founder Direcor) of Annapurna Pariwar back in 2002 when she met Miss Kanta, a widow and a mother of 3 children who came seeking for a loan from the organization. On asking her the reason for the loan she said, ‘It is for the education of my children, as I do not want to see them becoming like me’. This led to realization of hardships that a single mother from a slum faces for her child’s education and the bigger question of children’s future from such areas arose.

What followed was a brainstorming session and immediate application of ‘Vidyapurna’. Since then the scheme has helped thousands of students to grow and prosper by making education accessible despite challenging financial scarcity.

2018 marks the 16th anniversary of successfully securing the future of these kids. Under Vidyapurna, Annapurna has collected funds to sponsor 1000 children this year, of which 600 have already been provided scholarship worth Rs.2500 each.

Vidyapurna is an initiative towards upliftment of the society through providing scholarships to the deserving students of economically challenged families. A local study indicates that children of single mothers face tremendous difficulties in pursuing education as the earning responsibilities of the house falls on their shoulders too.

An in-depth framework is set to select the most deserving students who would avail scholarship in order to avoid irregularities in the selection process. Annapurna assigns a field executive who visits the houses for survey and picks out the eligible families; they are given a form that records all personal and financial information. These forms are then scrutinized by a senior member of the organization and the deserving applicants are finalised.

A meeting is held to brief them about the scholarship provisions and each kid is provided Rs.2,500 for an academic year. This is for students from nursery to 12th grade. The loan amount is disbursed in the month of June or July and a progress card with a thank you note from the children is provided to their sponsors by September.

Vidyapurna works with the aim of, ‘Bacchon ki shiksha, desh ka vikas’ (Nation’s progress through children’s education) and has put smiles on many young faces who, without Annapurna could not have pursued their dreams and helped mothers fulfill their ambitions of educating their children.

SKILL INDIA ENHANCES ENTREPRENEURSHIP SUPPORT FOR CANDIDATES

NSDC partners with deAsra Foundation for Building Capacity and Strengthening Entrepreneurship Support System for Training Providers

National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), under the aegis of the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Government of India, has collaborated with deAsra Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation, for capacitating its training providers for entrepreneurship. The collaboration would support the establishment of ‘Entrepreneurship Support Program’, which is intended to equip placement cells of training providers with self-employment/ entrepreneurial assistance for the skilled candidates.

The association would facilitate training of counsellors/ trainers (termed as ‘Udyog Mitras’) of the envisioned Entrepreneurial Cell, who will handhold skill trainees to nurture their entrepreneurial action plan.  This would include various aspects of developing a business model, seeking financial guidance and availing services of banks/ agencies for loans and other statutory requirements.  The counselling provided by these Udyog Mitras is proposed to help aspirants in exploring new avenues and facilitating financial support for enhancing employability.

NSDC’s affiliated training centres would also get access to the deAsra platforms, tools and knowledge resources such as the deAzzle mobile app, business guides across industries, trackers, templates, checklists and proposed Interactive Kiosks.

Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Manish Kumar, MD & CEO, NSDC said, “NSDC’s collaboration with deAsra will equip our affiliated training partners to provide entrepreneurial support to their trainees.  Business mentoring from experienced counsellors will enable aspiring youth to start their own businesses.  The initiative will not only support small and micro entrepreneurship that can generate large scale employment opportunities, it will also help drive sustainable growth in employment.”

Dr. Anand Deshpande, Founder, Chairman and MD, deAsra Foundation said, “Every year, more than 12 million youth enter working age group, but the challenge remains to generate enough employment opportunities for this growing talent. deAsra endeavors to transform job seekers into job creators through its entrepreneurial support system and other array of services.  We believe our collaboration with NSDC would contribute significantly to the Skill India Mission by creating successful entrepreneurs.”

deAsra’s Entrepreneurship Support Program is emerging as one of the key support modules which focuses on identifying the budding entrepreneurs across sectors. It will help Skill India trained candidates to acquire right guidance, facilitate business plans and provide allied services for establishing a new business. deAsra’s alliance with banks will enable mediation with financial institutions for facilitation of funds successfully.  The trainees will also be mentored by Udyog Mitras, who will guide the entrepreneur through every stage of his/her business lifecycle, right from set-up to growth.  Its network of professional service partners would also support entrepreneurs to connect with Chartered Accountants, Legal Advisors among others.

Skill India’s current training programs comprise a 40-hours module on Employability & Entrepreneurship Skills focusing on Life Skills, Digital Literacy and Financial Literacy. It’s a research-based guidance to establish, manage and grow a business through all the stages; de-risking entrepreneurship to a large extent. deAsra’s Entrepreneurship Support Program will further connect the trainees to Udyog Mitras to transform their dreams into reality.
