Help sustain Education for Equality and Justice

“If you want to understand what democracy and secularism actually mean, you need to spend some time in Digantar. Digantar has been nothing less than a blessing for our community where its influence is not limited to an individual or a family but, extends to the whole society. Thank you Digantar, for making my childhood beautiful!” Julekha (Digantar Alumna, Presently working as a Junior Lecturer in Government School System)

“Since 1978, Digantar Vidyalaya has been more than just a school. It’s a revolutionary force in education, pushing beyond conventional borders and paving the way for a brighter future!

Walking through Digantar felt like stepping into a vibrant ecosystem of knowledge, Teachers employing innovative methodologies that inspire critical thinking and environments designed for student engagement where “brains are truly braining.

We’ve long said, “Perfect policies, imperfect implementation,” but Digantar shatters that notion! Witnessing educational theories come alive has been transformative.” (Himanchi Rani, B.El.Ed. Student after visiting Digantar Vidyalaya in her college programme)

The school that makes "childhood beautiful” and makes “educational theories come alive” urgently needs funds to the tune of Rs.30 Lakh in the coming two and a half months. Part of this money is needed for cover the deficit in the running costs in the current year and part for embarking on an ambitious project Digantar Vidyalaya Vision 2030.

Digantar Vidyalaya Vision 2030 is a six- or seven-year project to transform the presently completely free school running on grants and donations into a financially self-sustaining school. Our plan is to admit 50% fee-paying students and 50% free students. This change requires refurbishing the existing infrastructure, appointing new teachers, reviewing capability building needs and upgrading classrooms. The total amount needed for the current financial year (till end of March 2025) is approximately Rs. 30 lakh. Vision 2030 would also require a continued and substantial support over the next 6 years. Therefore, we appeal potential long-term partners to see the project budget details below and extend their generous support.

For further information:

• The complete Digantar Vidyalaya Vision 2030 along with the budget can be seen here: Project Budget Details
• History of the Vidyalaya can be seen here: History

We appeal to all well-wishers of Digantar, people who have visited Digantar and all to please help us succeed in this ambitious project.

You can also get us in touch with possible funders and motivate others to donate for this cause.

We very much hope to sustain and expand the school that is a “revolutionary force in education, pushing beyond conventional borders and paving the way for a brighter future” with your active support.

Rohit Dhankar, Secretory, On behalf of Digantar.
