Deeksha launches unique scholarship initiative ‘VidyaDaan’

Deeksha plans to make a difference and build a stronger society, one life at a time.

Parent company Ace Creative Learning is poised to grow strength to strength from the current 28 campuses and 43,000 students in 2017

Chennai: Bengaluru based Deeksha (a part of Ace Creative Learning Pvt. Ltd,) a well-known name in the Pre-University and competitive exam space, announced the launch of their unique scholarship initiative ‘VidyaDaan’. This CSR initiative is geared towards creating a level playing field for meritorious students irrespective of their economic background. Deeksha (brand under Ace Creative Learning Pvt. Ltd) has now grown to a total of 28 campuses across Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. The institution has recently opened its operations in Hyderabad. About 43,000 students have been reached, over the last 18 years.

100+ scholarships have been instituted under this initiative which will bring hope to economically challenged students who have successfully completed class 10 but fallen short of financial resources. VidyaDaan’s philosophy is Transform a Life, Gift Education. Deeksha has the distinction of creating many toppers in JEE, NEET, CET and PU exams. Through this initiative Deeksha plans to join hands with all those who want to make a difference and build a stronger society, one life at a time.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Sridhar G, Founder and Managing Director, Deeksha said, “We are really proud and happy to announce the launch of our CSR initiative ‘VidyaDaan’. Contributing to education in India is a cause that is close to my heart because education holds the potential to transform lives and also our nation as a whole. The fact that this initiative can help educate 100+ students who wouldn’t have had a chance to pursue further education brings me great joy. We look forward to your support in making this initiative a success by helping us reach children in need. Use your power to nominate!”

Using a novel approach of seeking public nominations, people will have the #PowerToNominate a student in need. The most deserving candidates from the ones nominated will be awarded a full scholarship to pursue PU/ Intermediate education at a Deeksha campus in the Science or Commerce stream. It is a unique scholarship initiative

which encourages people to nominate one or more bright and hardworking students who have completed class 10 but cannot fund their further education.
