THE BACKDROP
For students from underprivileged homes, pursuing higher studies is a luxury. Most students do not attend colleges or prepare for competitive exams as it's extremely difficult for their parents to fund their courses. They prefer their children to start working after they complete school and help the family financially. They do not understand how important it is for a child to complete their higher studies to secure good jobs.
Supporting these students would certainly bring about a meaningful change in their lives as well as in the lives of their families.
THE INITIATIVE
The Swavalambi Trust is committed to helping these students by providing them with classes for competitive exams at the Accurate Coaching Centre (ACC) located in Yeshwantpur, Bengaluru. The duration of the course is for 3 months. These are brilliant students from low-income homes who aspire to secure government jobs. Books and extra resources are also provided. The beneficiaries are disabled persons, students in the BPL category, girls from socio-economic backgrounds, and Ex-army persons.
Accurate Coaching Centre (ACC) is established under Swavalambi Trust to support students taking competitive exams for IAS, Karnataka Administrative services, Panchayat Development Officers, B.Ed, and other exams. There are currently 400 students who need our help to join the coaching centre.
JUST INR 15000 WILL IMPACT ONE STUDENT.
Over 4000 students have already passed outs from the institute and secured government jobs.

ABOUT ME AND THIS CAMPAIGN
My name is Dr. VRS. I am a concerned citizen.
I have undertaken this campaign because I think it is incredible to impact the life of a student who is from a financially stressed home by helping them attend coaching classes for competitive exams.
The cost of providing coaching to a student for 3 months is just INR 15000 including fees, study material, test series. This will empower bright students in achieving their dreams and leading a respectful life.
Please fund my campaign as a simple act of kindness can have a profound impact on a student's life.
Let us together transform the lives of many underprivileged students and their families.

Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept and is growing very quickly.
It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations and ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding.
