Support to Poor BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery Students) for Education

Currently Educon is supporting 5 BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) students from rural areas near Pune Maharashtra. They are coming from a very poor financial background (families of farmers with very small piece of land, or construction workers) but are brilliant. These students got high marks in PAN India medical entrance exam and got admission through central admission process in government colleges which is commendable. These students come from a very poor background; some of them do not have both parents. The family income ranges from Rs. 3000/Mth to Rs. 7000/ Mth ($39/Mth to $99/Mth). Some of these students have siblings also who are studying which makes it very difficult for the families of the students to support their education. Educon have been supporting these students for a year now, for this year, they need new medical instruments and books which are very costly therefore Educon appeals through this platform to you to generously contribute for the noble cause of education of rural students. One of the great things about donating to Educon is that your money will directly go to students, we have minimal to zero cost on administrative and other costs.

Educon have been supporting these students for more than a year for the lodging, boarding, books etc. through the regular funds collected from the regular donors; while government takes care of their education fees (They are under EBC (Economically Backward Class) category).

This year these students need more money as they have to purchase books and medical instrument which are very costly; therefore, we are raising the fund through this platform and appeal to larger community to help.

We are trying to support these students for their education so that the standard of life for their families can be improved. Also, these students are coming from Rural areas they will serve the rural areas after completion of their education. This will help to improve on the medical services in the rural areas (one of the problem India is facing currently is that the rural areas are not staffed enough for medical and healthcare).
