TESTIMONIALSTESTIMONIALSTESTIMONIALS

I really like their effort in finding out the bright but economically backward students. They keep accounts very transparent. They are sincere in their efforts. They have touched different parts of the society and those children without Vidya Poshak help probably would have perished.

- Smt. Sudha Murty Chairperson, Infosys Foundation, Bengaluru.

Vidya Poshak is a great organisation that digs out these nuggets of talent. The question is who should support organisations like Vidya Poshak. I think the way Vidya Poshak should get funded is by millions from a few and a few from millions so that every student is supported by their own community.

A. Financial Assistance

Unique process for identifying deserving studentsA large number of students inevitably opt out of continuing their post 10th education due to financial difficulties. Vidya Poshak attempts to assist such students to continue their education and pursue professional or non-professional courses and realize their career dreams.

Vidya Poshak invites applications from meritorious yet economically challenged students who have completed their class 10 examinations through its volunteer network. The volunteers visit the government schools and orient the students about the program and also wide publicity is given through media to reach out to the student community.

Based on the 10th class results, students are short-listed for home visits to assess the extent of financial difficulty. Thereafter depending on the merit and home visit reports, the final list of eligible students will be prepared for assisting them with scholarship, books and training. The facilitators with the help of local volunteers and well wishers will organise the financial assistance disbursement programmes in selected locations.

On an average every year more than 1000 house visits are made covering 600 villages/ small towns from 10 districts of Karnataka. Thanks to our 500 Senior volunteers and student volunteers who did all the house visit covering more than 25,000 KM .

Eligibility for Student Applicants

Meritorious Students from economically challenged background passing out from Class 10 with a minimum 75%* marks and with an annual family income of less than ̀ 70,000/- * are eligible to apply.

For professional courses

'Job Interview Skills' session in progress…

C. Residential Bridge CampsWe organize Residential Bridge Camps that help students achieve optimal success during and after their college education. We also found most of the students lacked confidence and skills because of their socio economic background, which prevented them from performing well in the selection process / interviews as well as in any public appearance. Attending the camps addresses and corrects these shortcomings thus enabling the students to secure better job opportunities so that the entire family gets benefited.There has been a huge gap between what is learnt in the academic system and the requirement of the main stream society and the job market. To address all these vital issues and to transform the students into contributing citizens of the society, the concept of camps was evolved.Unique Features

Employment Readiness Program

Vidya Poshak is bridging the gap between academic training and industry requirement with its Hundreds of VP scholars get benefit of this program “Employment Readiness Program”.along with their B.A, B.Com and B.Sc. courses. This program is mainly started to help the rural background graduate students who are ill equipped to meet the demands of the industry due to lack of career guidance and systemic employment training. We at Vidya Poshak use modern tools and techniques to make the students industry ready.Vidya Poshak has devised a Five Phased approach to prepare the final year students in employability.

C-DOSS

Centre for Development of Soft SkillsThe Need: It is known fact that soft skills and the language abilities enhance the performance and employability of the student. Though the need of soft skills development has been widely appreciated by the educational institutes, lack of quality and cost effective training modules, and non-availability of resource persons has remained a concern. To cater to this need Vidya Poshak launched Centre for Development of Soft Skills (CDOSS) during 2008.

What is C-DOSS: C-DOSS is a business as well as non profit training cell of Vidya Poshak. This is developed to cater for the institutions and organizations which can afford to bear the training costs. The objective is to mobilize funds for the social module as well as for self sustenance.

C-DOSS conducts workshops for teachers, students, parents and employees. The workshops would be conducted on invitation from various institutes at their own location. Training cost depends on number of days and the module of training. The organization also has to bear the travel and accommodation expenses of the trainers.

So far C-DOSS has impacted around 85,000 youths from various backgrounds.

Training Modules: The centre provides training on different topics. Following are few of the training topics: Life Skills/Personality Development, Emotion Management, Entrepreneurial development, Art of Parenting, Career Guidance, Team Building, Leadership, Functional English, Study Skills, Counselling Techniques, Class Room Management for Teachers etc.

thWe have recently conducted Career Counselling sessions for 10 grade students from rural High Schools. These sessions identify the abilities and interests of the students to find their potential. More than 160 careers are mapped to 5 “Potential” like Linguistic, Spatial, and Arithmetic/Logical, People skills and Physical / Mechanical. On need basis other training modules also are being prepared and delivered.

Vidya Poshak's Education Loan Awareness and Advocacy Program (ELAAP)

Education is central to human resources development and empowerment in any country. In India it is specially so considering the large population of youth that is our demographic dividend. In order to enable this youth population to acquire the technological and professional skills, Government of India has formulated a policy of providing Education Loan and Loan for Vocational Education and Training. These endeavours need propagation to the corners of the country in order to succeed. Vidya Poshak started the ELAAP project in Sept 2012 to create the awareness of the Model Education Loan Scheme of IBA in the students aspiring for professional education.

In the first year of its execution, Vidya Poshak created awareness in over 5,500 students across 52 colleges directly and in nearly 10,000 students through our volunteer network. We setup helpdesks at the document verification centres of KEA and counselled students in the process of taking education loan. We have also setup telephone helpdesk. We created a webpage on our site to provide information 24 X 7 across geographies.

Our efforts to use social media for spreading the education loan information won us the Manthan award for Social Media and Empowerment at New Delhi amongst more than 130 competing entries.

Our telephone helpline is continuing to provide support and guidance to students facing difficulty in getting education loan. We trained over 40 facilitators across north Karnataka in the finer points of education loan and they continue to guide students at local level.

Our VolunteersThe unique feature of Vidya Poshak is that it is community driven. While generous donors sponsor, around 500 esteemed volunteers elegantly execute the projects. They almost involve in all the activities of Vidya Poshak right from generating applications, acting as resource persons in the training programs to raising funds. There are about 200 student volunteers who also participate in various activities under the guidance of the senior volunteers.

Vidya Poshak Community (Alumni) – VPC

Over the years there has been a growing demand for services on various fronts like Financial Assistance, Books and Training.

Vidya Poshak Community (VPC) has been formed keeping in view of this growing need for resources. It is a close knit community comprising of Vidya Poshak course completed students along with volunteers and employees. Clearly, Vidya Poshak Community has a major role to play in the coming years.
